Giovanni Battista Bassi for Poltronova Pair of 'Elisa' Armchairs in Green Velvet

Giovanni Battista Bassi for Poltronova, pair of armchairs model 'Elisa', velvet, lacquered beech, Italy, 1960s.

These wonderfully constructed chairs are based on a solid construction where clear, fluent lines are allowed to emerge in the design. Note how the backrest runs over into the front legs in a curvaceous manner. This feature serves as a shell, embracing the sitter in a graceful manner. These chairs have a fierce and strong character. This pair of 'Elisa' dining chairs of Italian origin finds itself at the intersection of art and design.
