50 Italo leaves its armrests in bare wood. Against the linear upholstered seat and back, the timber arm is the one uncovered element — it is what the hand meets, and what the eye reads first.

The base is suspended on turned wooden feet over a foam seat, with the upholstered sections cut square to let the shaped arm stand out against them.

From the Contemporary collection by Gianluigi Landoni. Italo runs across the Vibieffe range as a sofa, bed, dining table and chair, so the armchair can be specified as part of a whole scheme.

Vibieffe builds to order in Italy. Upholstery, frame finish and foot are specified per order. Visit the Melaaura showroom at 156 S Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles, or contact us for pricing, fabric samples and lead times.
