Leather Armchair by Arrigo Arrigoni for Busnelli, 1970s

This leather armchair, designed by Arrigo Arrigoni for Busnelli in the 1970s, is a strong example of Italian design from an era defined by comfort, volume, and expressive forms.

Low, generous, and deeply inviting, the chair is shaped entirely around the body. The softly padded structure and wide proportions create an enveloping seat—more lounge than armchair. Upholstered in warm cognac-toned leather, the surface shows a natural patina with light wear and minor damage, visible in the photos and consistent with age and use.

Rather than aiming for perfection, this piece embraces character. It feels lived-in, tactile, and honest—an object meant to be used, not merely displayed.

Ideal as a lounge chair, reading chair, or as a sculptural accent in a relaxed yet design-conscious interior.

Condition: Light wear and minor damage consistent with age (see photos)
