Gustavo Pulitzer Finali for Cassina, pair of armchairs, Italy, 1955

Pair of mid-1950s armchairs by Gustavo Pulitzer Finali for Cassina. Newly upholstered in burgundy velvet with solid walnut feet; a model used in the 1955 Homeric lounge. These armchairs have been completely reupholstered, with new stuffing and new upholstery in fine crimson velvet. The wooden feet have purposefully been left with their original patina. The enveloping profile—with gently flared arms, a generous seat and a slightly reclined back—speaks to Cassina’s ergonomic intelligence of the period. The pair has been freshly reupholstered and is ready to place; minor surface wear to the wooden elements is consistent with careful use and enhances authenticity. Ideal for collectors of Italian mid-century seating, these chairs offer both historical relevance and daily usability.
