Anonima Castelli

Mario Viezzoli for Anonima Castelli — LS Armchair, 1978 An Italian design project linked to the Dimensiona program, selected for the ADI Compasso d’Oro 1979 An example of particular collecting interest of the LS model, designed by Mario Viezzoli in 1978 for Anonima Castelli within the design path developed with Longato Arredamenti. Difficult to find on the market of vintage seating, this armchair stands out for the enveloping form of the upholstered shell, the continuous junction between seat, backrest and armrests, and the lightness of the chrome-plated steel base. The light fabric emphasizes its volumes, creating a refined contrast with the metallic structure. The LS model remains represented in Anonima Castelli’s contemporary offer: the attached commercial documentation lists a price of €1,700 for a new armchair. A reference that testifies to the enduring validity of Viezzoli’s design and its ability to cross eras and interior contexts. Its link with the Dimensiona program, included in the 1979 ADI Compasso d’Oro Selection, adds to the chair’s formal character a precise historical and design significance. This lot comprises a single armchair. Four coordinated examples are offered for sale, each in a separate listing: an opportunity for those who wish to insert a single designer item or to bid on multiple seats for a unified project. Any group photographs illustrate the provenance ensemble; the awarding of this lot includes exclusively the single armchair offered here. The balance between sculptural presence, compact proportions and comfort makes the LS model suitable for residential interiors, professional studios, representative environments and interior design projects. A distinctive seat for collectors, architects and enthusiasts seeking less common expressions of late twentieth-century Italian design. Materials and conservation The armchair features the characteristic chrome-plated tubular steel base, paired with an upholstered foam structure and covered in light-coloured fabric with a textured weave. The chrome finishes have been carefully cleaned and preserved. The seat has undergone professional conservation interventions aimed at preserving its functionality while respecting the original design. The later upholstery is coherent, in terms of materials, workmanship and aesthetic language, with the character of the project. The ivory / écru tone emphasizes the continuity of the surfaces and facilitates its integration into different environments.
