Art Dèco Italian Lounge Armchair from Hotel Bristol Merano, 50s

Art Deco armchair, attributed to Gio Ponti, originally designed for the prestigious Hotel Bristol Merano in Italy. The armchair features low, sculptural armrests and an enveloping, elegant silhouette, reflecting the refined evolution of Italian Art Deco in the early 1950s, where decorative richness meets modern softness and balance. Made in Italy in the early 1950s, the armchair rests on slender, tapered brass legs, lending a visual lightness and a refined textural contrast with the upholstery. The armchair has been completely restored and upholstered in cream-colored bouclé-effect fabric, carefully selected to enhance the generous curves and sculptural presence of the design. Perfect as a statement piece in a sophisticated living room, a luxurious setting, a study, or any refined interior, it fits perfectly with Midcentury, Art Deco, and luxurious contemporary settings.
