Introini Vittorio easy chairs
This pair of rare easy chairs, designed by Introini Vittorio and produced by Saporiti in Italy in 1965, exemplifies mid-century Italian design through its synthesis of sculptural form, industrial materials, and luxurious upholstery. The chairs feature a continuous, curved frame crafted from chromed steel, which provides both structural stability and a visually striking profile that emphasizes fluidity and modernity.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in supple brown suede, seamlessly wrapping around the metal frame to create an organic, flowing silhouette. The rich texture and natural patina of the suede add warmth and depth, contrasting beautifully with the sleek, reflective steel structure. This harmonious integration of materials showcases the innovative craftsmanship characteristic of Saporiti’s production during the 1960s.
Introini Vittorio was a notable Italian designer known for his experimental approach, blending industrial elements with refined aesthetics. His work reflects the progressive design ethos of the 1960s, challenging traditional furniture forms and embracing modernist principles.
Founded in the mid-20th century, Saporiti gained a reputation for producing avant-garde, high-end furniture in collaboration with leading contemporary designers. The company specialized in creating technically sophisticated and artistically refined pieces that balance innovation with functionality.
The chairs remain in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting only minor, age-appropriate wear on the suede. They measure 72 cm in width, 76 cm in depth, and 66.5 cm in height (28.3 x 29.9 x 26.2 inches), with a seat height of 35 cm (13.8 inches), combining comfort with a bold, elegant design statement.
