MARCO ZANUSO (Milan, 1916 - 2001) for ARFLEX. Three-seater sofa "Regent", 1960s. Leg bases in walnut. Newly upholstered in Kvadrat steelcut fabric. Size: 83 x 195 x 90 cm. The iconic Regent sofa is a symbol of style, material and technological innovation. Its high tufted backrest adds elegance and sophistication. It rises on cylindrical legs supported by walnut glides that lighten the height of the piece of furniture. Its social context responds to the fact that, once the Fascist regime had fallen in disgrace (1948) and a new Italy emerged from its ruins with the intention of giving a modern and cosmopolitan image, it was time to abandon the vestiges of classicist Art Deco that characterized the taste of the Mussolinian elites. Thus arose the Italian Bel Design or "Good Design", characterized by bringing to the influence coming from the United States, a plus of elegance that did not forget the millenary national artistic tradition. The Politecnico di Milano became a breeding ground for creators and the names of Alberto Rosselli, Marcello Nizzoli, Franco Alboni and Marco Zanuso joined Ponti. At the same time, dynamic professional associations were created and the department store La Rinascente awarded the Compasso d'Oro prize to reward these leading lights of design. Bel Design fever was a fact. Italian architect and designer Marco Zanuso is the author of the Olivetti complexes in São Paulo and Buenos Aires, in which he used spherical triangular modules covered by a concrete shell. As a designer, he has created furniture such as the 1964 Fourline armchair, a series of children's furniture in plastic and lacquered wood, the Locarno and Mastro tables, as well as radio and television sets and a wide variety of industrial products. A professor at the Polytechnic School of Milan, in 1966 he was appointed president of the Industrial Design Association. In 1994 he received the San Carlo Borromeo Award for his entire career.

PEP BONET BERTRAN (Barcelona, 1941) for BD Editions Tuman armchair, 1968. In chromed steel and black leather. Measurements: 76 x 60 x 90 cm. The Tuman armchair was designed by Pep Bonet for Levesta and for Bd Ediciones, of which he was founder. In this armchair Bonet is close to the rationalist trend advocated by the Bauhaus and applied by GATEPAC. Thus, his design refers to classic, functional and essential formulations without renouncing formal beauty, combined with an intelligent use of new materials. He started from the need to create a piece of furniture suitable for the spaces he was building, a modern, formally original, comfortable and relatively inexpensive seat. The formal reference for this design is the Tucuman bird, and despite its sinuousness it gives the impression that its structure is composed of a single piece. The large cushion that forms the seat is supported by steel leaf springs, which originally accounted for thirty percent of the production cost, and which give the chair great elasticity and comfort. The original model is upholstered in skai, a symbol of modernity in the sixties and seventies, and in fact the Tuman armchair won Bonet the 1974 design prize in the competition for furniture upholstered in this material at the Spanish Furniture Fair in Valencia. Pep Bonet is a Catalan architect and designer trained at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, a member of Studio PER along with Cristian Cirici, Lluís Clotet and Óscar Tusquets, and a founding partner of BD Ediciones de Diseño. He has received awards such as the FAD Interior Architecture Award and the Delta ADI-FAD, among others.
