MARCO ZANUSO (Milan, 1916 - 2001) for ARFLEX. Sofa "Lady", 1950s. Metal and velvet. In good condition according to its age and use. Measurements: 94 x 134 x 89 cm. The iconic Lady sofa is a symbol of style, material and technological innovation. Presented at the IX Milan Triennale in the same year, where it won the gold medal, it has a metal structure and is upholstered in emerald green. The Lady sofa was a milestone both technologically and in terms of the materials used. Zanuso developed the manufacturing of the pieces separately, each with a foam of different densities. They are then individually upholstered and then assembled. The result is an ergonomic seat that adapts to the shape of the body: the backrest is slightly curved, offering good support for the back, and the armrests are wide and soft, ideal for relaxing. The slender, thin metal legs emphasize the lightness of the design. Its social context responds to the fact that, once the Fascist regime had fallen from grace (1948) and a new Italy had emerged from its ruins with 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.
