Architectural Symbol Embodied: The Italy Chair

A Subtle Reference to Italian Architecture

The Italy Chair, designed by Dmitry Samygin, draws inspiration from the iconic arch, a fundamental element in architecture.

The Italy Chair is a unique piece that combines the elegance of Italian design with the strength of architectural symbolism. The chair's backrest features a pattern reminiscent of an arcade, gallery, or aqueduct, paying homage to the arch's significance in architectural history.

What sets the Italy Chair apart is its perfect proportions and clean lines, which prioritize aesthetics over functionality. Crafted from hard-wearing, black lacquered solid beech, this chair exudes sophistication and can effortlessly become the focal point of any interior.

With dimensions of 457mm in width, 457mm in depth, and 1041mm in height, the Italy Chair is designed to provide both comfort and visual appeal. Its sleek silhouette and attention to detail make it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional interiors.

While the chair is primarily available in black, it can also be customized in various colors to create a bold statement. This versatility allows the Italy Chair to seamlessly integrate into any design scheme, providing a strong visual contrast.

The Italy Chair was conceptualized and realized by Dmitry Samygin in 2014 in Moscow. Its exquisite design and attention to detail have earned it the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2016. This award recognizes the chair's practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial standards.

With its architectural symbolism and timeless elegance, the Italy Chair is a testament to Dmitry Samygin's creative vision. Its unique design and impeccable craftsmanship make it a true work of art that adds a touch of Italian charm to any space.
