Description
The 722 Woodline armchair, originally designed by Marco Zanuso in 1964, is composed of three distinct elements: curved wood frame, supporting panel and cushions. The wooden frame is made of curved plywood with walnut stained walnut finishes. The supporting panel is composed of an internal steel panel upholstered in non-removable stiff leather with non-removable cushion covers in leather.
Marco Zanuso designed the Woodline from a matrix based on the geometry of the circle, which gives the entire structure a classic formal precision and developed the supporting frame as shown here in wood.
Marco Zanuso was an Italian architect and designer known for his groundbreaking contributions to mid-century modern furniture. His work, including the Lady Chair and the 720 Lady Sofa, introduced new manufacturing techniques using foam and metal frames. Zanuso’s designs, often created in collaboration with Arflex, combined comfort with avant-garde aesthetics. His visionary approach helped shape the future of industrial design and remains a key influence in contemporary furniture making.
