Italian Mid Century Modern Armchairs by Pierre Cardin for Maxalto, 1980s

Set of Six Sculptural Dining or Office Chairs

This exceptional set of six armchairs, designed by Pierre Cardin for Maxalto in the 1980s, showcases the timeless sophistication of Italian mid-century modern design. With their sleek walnut frames and dark leather upholstery, these chairs strike the perfect balance between architectural precision and sculptural elegance.

Minimalist design with refined details

The gently curved armrests highlight Cardin’s sensitivity to form, adding both comfort and visual rhythm. Subtle geometric lines define the silhouette, while the layered detailing of the walnut construction demonstrates meticulous Italian craftsmanship. The upholstered seats and backrests in dark leather or leatherette ensure durability and comfort, complementing the sculptural frame with understated luxury.

Versatility and collectible design

Equally at home in a dining room, office, or living space, these versatile armchairs suit both modern and eclectic interiors. Their presence is as much about aesthetic statement as functionality, reflecting Pierre Cardin’s bold yet refined approach to design. Collectible as a complete set, they embody the elegance and innovation that Maxalto became known for in the late 20th century.
