Descrizione:

The organicist approach that Vietti applied to the design of the curved laminated plywood armchairs, created for the New Maritime Station in Genoa, was also adapted by the Lombard architect for a subsequent model of armchair, in which the tubular metal frame was combined, in keeping with a characteristic feature of his design at the time, with a woven covering made of natural material such as leather. Armchair with tubular metal frame covered with interwoven leather strips.
