Set of four Matteo Grassi armchairs in burgundy leather, 1980s

An important and recognizable series of armchairs by Matteo Grassi, crafted from burgundy full-grain leather with a rigid, upholstered frame and visible stitching.
The design perfectly reflects the company's 1980s aesthetic: architectural volumes, an almost monolithic construction, and the use of leather as a structural as well as decorative element.

The seats feature a compact, sculptural silhouette, with full sides that descend to the floor, creating a sense of material continuity. The design is rigorous yet softened by the slightly curved profile of the armrests and the inclined backrest, which provide comfort and an extremely sophisticated presence.
The felled stitching emphasizes the artisanal character of the piece and recalls the world of high-end saddlery, a distinctive feature of Matteo Grassi's production.

The leather patina shows beautiful natural aging: light abrasions along the edges, signs of use, and color variations consistent with age and use, elements that accentuate its material and authentic charm. There are some more obvious marks on the ends of the armrests and a stain on one seat, visible in the photos.

Perfect around a meeting table, in a professional office, or as accent seating in a postmodern or radical 1980s interior.

Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age; leather with patina, marks, and abrasions along the edges. Matteo Grassi brand
