Pair of Rare Armchairs by Trussardi, Italy, 1970s

Better known for their top-tier wearable fashion, Trussardi seem to have tried their hand at furniture design, and what they came up with is nothing short of powerful. Decades of experience in leatherwork found their way onto the uncompromising shapes making up these statement pieces, and did so with definite intentions. The rounded corners of the armrests seem to be clad in knight's armour as they make their way to the backrest, shifting course 90° like it's nobody's business. Smack down in the middle stands the Trussardi Greyhound, emblem of sophistication and nobility, forever embossed in quality leather. These rather mean-looking armchairs have a surprising trick up their sleeve - they are very comfortable to sit in. Time seems to have had its way with the camel-painted leather at the back, sticking a tape of some sort onto it. However, we won't be responsible for involving ourselves in any restoration efforts, fearing that the colour and patina cannot possibly be replicated.
