Calypso Armchair by Vittorio Introini (1980s)

The Calypso armchair (often referred to as model C35), designed by Vittorio Introini for Saporiti Italia in 1979, is a masterful piece that marks the transition from the strict style of the 1970s to the vibrant colors of the 1980s. This lounge chair stands out for its ergonomic and enveloping silhouette. The circular backrest is elegantly adorned with decorative arch-shaped stitching, highlighting its geometric form and adding visual softness. The wide and deep seat features a padded cushion with an ergonomic curve, specially designed for superior comfort. The base has a distinctive forked shape, upholstered in the same material as the seat, providing stability and a dynamic profile. The upholstery is made from high-quality full-grain black leather, featuring a soft texture and a natural patina that enhances the piece. The decorative stitching on the backrest and the precision craftsmanship of the upholstery showcase exceptional attention to detail and refined artisanal quality.
