Giovanni Battista Bassi for Poltronova Set of Ten 'Elisa' Armchairs

Giovanni Battista Bassi for Poltronova, set of ten armchairs model 'Elisa', velvet, fabric, lacquered beech, Italy, 1960s

These wonderfully constructed chairs are based on a solid construction where clear, fluent lines are allowed to emerge in the design. Note how the backrest runs over into the front legs in a curvaceous manner. This feature serves as a shell, embracing the sitter in a graceful manner. These chairs have a fierce and strong character. Six chairs are upholstered in a delicate green velvet and the other four chairs are furnished with a brown fabric. This set of 'Elisa' dining chairs of Italian origin finds itself at the intersection of art and design.
