Pair of Rossi di Albizzate Leather Lounge Chairs, Italy, 1970s
An exceptional pair of sculptural lounge chairs by Rossi di Albizzate, showcasing the bold, organic aesthetic that defined Italian seating design of the 1970s. With their generously rounded silhouette, deeply padded form, and beautifully gathered cognac leather upholstery, these chairs strike a perfect balance between luxurious comfort and sculptural presence.
The low-slung profile and enveloping arms create an inviting, cocoon-like seat, while the rich leather has developed a warm patina that enhances the chairs’ soft architectural lines. Every angle reveals the refined upholstery work that made Rossi di Albizzate one of Italy’s premier makers of high-end upholstered furniture during the postwar design era. Founded near Milan in 1935, the company became known for its exceptional craftsmanship and collaborations with influential Italian designers, producing furniture celebrated for its comfort, quality, and enduring modern appeal.
Equally at home in a minimalist interior, a curated mid-century collection, or a contemporary space, these chairs are statement pieces that embody the relaxed elegance of Italian modernism.
