Bold Paolo Piva 'Arcadia' Low Chair by B&B Italia
The playful geometric form of the Arcadia chair reflects the bold aesthetic of Italian designer Paolo Piva. A floating square backrest and cube-like base are impeccably dressed in tailored black leather and connected by chrome links. The result is a timeless icon of the postmodern era.
Paolo Piva is one of the most well-known designers of the 20th Century. He created a suite of memorable designs with high end makers like Poliform and De Sede along with B&B Italia. He first studied with Carlo Scarpa and went on to develop a unique, high luxury style with a strong sense of geometry.
We have a high back version available as well.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.
