Set of 2 Armchairs, Lamp and Coffee Table - Elisabetta Gucci for Formitalia, 1980s

Elisabetta Gucci, daughter of Paolo Gucci and great-granddaughter of Guccio Gucci, founder of the famous fashion house, designed the "Miura Trend" rocking chairs for Formitalia in the 1980s. The chairs, featuring double stitching, are made of bright red calf leather, with inserts in two-tone printed python and brass brackets. There is a brass Formitalia plaque with the typical Gucci logo placed beside the seat, and a fabric label positioned near the python insert. These are significant chairs, extremely comfortable, elegant, and enveloping. Although they are rocking chairs, they have great stability, and the rocking feature can be enjoyed whenever desired, as the special curved bars underneath (runners), on which the chairs rest and which allow for oscillation, are specifically designed to provide the freedom to choose between sitting on a stable chair or enjoying the rocking motion. Note: It may not be immediately obvious, but the python print features the design of the brackets, typical of the logo. Chair dimensions: W. 90 cm X H. 85 cm X D. 100 cm. In this set, we offer not only the pair of chairs but also the matching table lamp, which is also made of two-tone printed python calf leather, with brackets, chains, and closure plates, both lower and upper, in brass. The lampshade is made of pleated fabric in ecru (still wrapped in cellophane from the manufacturer). As new. Lamp dimensions: W. 43 cm X H. 66.5 cm X D. 27 cm. The beech wood coffee table is finished in silver leaf with a beige lacquered top edge. The coffee table does not belong to the Gucci line and has been included in the set for harmony with the other elements present. Coffee table dimensions: D. 66 cm, H. 61 cm. The condition of the items in the set is excellent, as good as new. Curiosity: Elisabetta Gucci was taken to court by the Maison after this production for using the Gucci logo without permission. The case ended without any financial claim from the Maison, but with the withdrawal of such items from the market. This made these items hard to find, which can undoubtedly be defined as rare today.
