About the Item

In this listing you will find a striking set of four “Canasta” armchairs by Italian manufacturer Arrben, exemplifying the refined minimalism and sculptural experimentation of late 20th-century Italian design. Produced in the 1970s–1980s, these chairs embody the transition from modernist functionalism into a more expressive postmodern vocabulary. Each chair features a continuous, elegantly curved cantilever frame in polished chromed steel, giving the design a sense of lightness and suspension. The defining element is the sweeping leather backrest, which seamlessly extends into the armrests in a single fluid gesture - both structural and ergonomic. This distinctive “loop” form not only enhances comfort but also creates a bold architectural silhouette. The seats and backrests are crafted in thick black leather, subtly tensioned across the frame, offering both durability and a refined tactile quality. The combination of supple leather and cool chromed steel is characteristic of Arrben’s production, a company known for its expertise in high-quality leather seating and ergonomic design. The cantilever construction provides a gentle flex, ensuring a comfortable seating experience while maintaining a clean, graphic profile. These chairs function equally well as dining chairs, desk chairs, or sculptural accent pieces within a modern or postmodern interior. When purchased the chairs will be carefully wrapped up and packed in a way to avoid any damages in transport. As soon as shipped you will receive the tracking number for your package. If you have any additional questions regarding this piece please feel free to contact me. Happy shopping!
