An exquisite pair of armchair and ottoman sets, designed by renowned Italian modernist architect Augusto Romano for Cassina. Crafted from rich mahogany with elegant brass detailing, each set is upholstered in a luxurious navy velvet fabric. The armchairs feature a distinctive A-line frame with gently tapered legs and splayed feet, connected by a subtle crossbar. The sculpted armrests open gracefully into deep, flared hollows, supporting an L-shaped seat with a delicately split backrest. Each set is complemented by a matching ottoman, echoing the chair's refined silhouette, making these pieces a perfect blend of comfort and style. 

Augusto Romano, born in 1918, was a distinguished architect and mid-century modern furniture designer. A graduate of the Politecnico di Torino, Romano's designs were deeply influenced by Scandinavian modernism and the works of Le Corbusier. Known for his innovative use of materials like wicker and oak, Romano created elegant, modular furniture that earned him accolades in the late 1940s and 1950s. Collaborating with Cassina, a leading Italian furniture manufacturer renowned for its pioneering craftsmanship and design, Romano produced iconic pieces that continue to be celebrated for their timeless style and sophistication.
