Vintage Italian Neoclassical 'Pompeii' Armchair by Alberto Orlandi
A rare Pompeii armchair designed by Italian designer Alberto Orlandi in the 1980s, where Neoclassical references are distilled into a sculptural, architectural form. Cast bronze shapes the sloping backrest, curved legs, and finely detailed finials, giving the chair a sense of quiet monumentality despite its refined proportions.
A suspended black leather sling seat introduces softness to the composition, balancing the weight of the bronze with a material chosen for comfort and restraint. The contrast between the two creates a piece that feels both timeless and distinctly Italian in its approach to form.
Viewed from every angle, the chair reveals a careful attention to proportion. The sweeping bronze frame and restrained detailing allow each element to stand on its own, while working together as a single sculptural silhouette.
A piece that sits comfortably between furniture and object, bringing a strong architectural presence to a library, study, or living space—chosen not only for its function, but for the character it lends to the room.
