Marco Zanuso

Marco Zanuso (Milan 1916-Milan 2001) Pair of armchairs mod. "Lady" for Arflex 1951 cm 80x78x76 wooden and metal structure, blue velvet covering, brass feet. The Ar-Flex ("Flexible Furnishings") company, later Arflex, was born in 1947 from the collaboration between Carlo Barassi, Pirelli engineer, Renato Teani, from the Pirelli financial sector, Pio Reggiani, Aldo Bai and the young architect Marco Zanuso, experimenting with the use of foam and elastic ribbons for furnishings. The first meeting with the public took place at the IX Milan Triennale in 1951, after two years of testing. The Gold Medal of the IX Triennale, awarded to the "Lady" armchair, mainly rewarded this aspect of Arflex production.
