Armchair (P40)

Osvaldo Borsani was an Italian furniture designer and architect whose work defined postwar modernism in Italy. Working primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, he created streamlined seating and modular systems that married industrial production with sculptural form, often incorporating innovative materials and mechanical components. His designs emphasized functional elegance and spatial efficiency, establishing him as a central figure in the development of Italian industrial design during the reconstruction era.
