Melchiorre Bega Italian Mid-Century Velvet Armchairs, 1950s, Pair

An elegant pair of 1950s Italian armchairs, designed by renowned architect and designer Melchiorre Bega, featuring generous proportions and delicately sculptural lines, emblematic of mid-century Italian seating.

The armchairs feature a wide, enveloping backrest with slightly flared sides, padded armrests, and a deep, comfortable seat. The design masterfully balances solidity and softness, creating an inviting silhouette that’s simultaneously refined and casual.

They rest on tapered, slightly splayed wooden legs, lending visual lightness and a sense of architectural balance to the overall composition.

Ideal as a focal point in a living room, dining room, or study, these armchairs fit seamlessly into both mid-century modern and eclectic interiors. Their timeless shape and quality craftsmanship also make them suitable for refined hospitality environments.

As visible in the photographs, the velvet upholstery shows signs of wear and tear; We therefore recommend reupholstering it. Reupholstery is available upon request, at a cost of €700 per armchair.

A matching sofa from the same collection is also available, measuring 184 x 84 x H 85 cm.
