Marco Zanuso designed the Lady chair for Arflex in 1951 - an upholstered form lifted off the floor on four slim legs, sculpted as much as built, intended to be looked at as well as sat in. It won the gold medal at the Milan Triennale that same year and changed what an Italian armchair could be. In the decade and a half that followed, every Italian manufacturer worth the name produced variations on the idea: a scooped back, a curved arm, a body that read as a single sculpted volume, four slim painted-iron legs holding it just clear of the ground. Some of the chairs were drawn by the famous - Zanuso, Ico Parisi, Gigi Radice, Aldo Morbelli. Most were drawn by the in-house designers of workshops whose names were never on the labels. The form was the point. The form is what survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is one of those chairs. A tall scooped back with two-button detail, curved arms melting into the body, the whole upholstered form resting on slim black-painted iron legs tipped in brass. Recovered in a grey chenille-and-cotton weave that suits the silhouette. Comfortable, but the silhouette is the reason to own it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLight wear consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDimensions: H 0.80m × W 0.68m × D 0.75m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEnquire about this piece via the form below. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Leopard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48986871628003,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/5230\/2051\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-18_at_12.55.12_pm.png?v=1779072927","url":"https:\/\/theleopard.com.au\/products\/italian-button-back-armchair-mid-century-c-1960s","provider":"The Leopard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
