Square Armchair in Dark Brown Leather by Marco Zanuso for Arflex, 1960s

This Marco Zanuso armchair, model Square, crafted around 1960, embodies the designer’s mastery of modern comfort and restrained elegance. Upholstered in rich dark-brown leather, the chair features generous, structured cushions with subtle tufting that accentuate its sculptural form. The angular silhouette—balanced by rounded details and refined proportions—reflects Zanuso’s signature approach to postwar Italian design, where functional clarity meets understated luxury. The low, inviting seat and wide armrests provide exceptional comfort, while the distinctive metal legs add a light industrial touch that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the leather. Showing a graceful patina, the piece retains its original character and timeless appeal. A sophisticated addition to living spaces, studios, or reading corners, this Square armchair is an outstanding example of mid-century Italian craftsmanship and Zanuso’s enduring design legacy.
