Italian designed Salon chairs with hydraulic bases and polished aluminium armrests.(TPP each)
This is a fantastic example of 90s Italian commercial design, built during a time when salon furniture was treated as bold, statement-making sculpture.
Faux Ostrich Leather: The textured, dotted faux-ostrich upholstery was a massive trend in high-end interior and commercial design throughout the 1990s, used to convey luxury and exoticism without using real exotic hides.
Biomorphic Metalwork: The heavy, polished aluminum armrests shaped like curving horns or tusks with spherical joints are classic examples of late 1980s to 1990s post-modern Italian design. This era heavily favored “biomorphic” shapes—design that mimics organic, biological, or animal forms but executes them in cold, industrial materials like cast metal.
AGVGroup History: The AGVGroup formed as a fusion of several Italian design companies, notably including Giorgio Vezzosi, a designer known for bringing avant-garde, glamorous, and highly sculptural “post-modern” aesthetics into the salon furniture market during the late 20th century. This chair is highly representative of that specific Giorgio Vezzosi (often branded as GV Design) influence within the company.Height at the lowest elevation is 80cm (32″) Chair at highest elevation is 1m (39″) x 58cm (23″) wide x 60cm (2ft) deep approx.
