Italian Postmodern Armchair and Ottoman by Urano Palma for Mirabili

“Regina” Armchair and “Junior” Ottoman in Raw Wood and Suede

This exceptional armchair and ottoman set designed by Urano Palma for Mirabili in the 1990s represents a rare meeting of fine art and collectible design. Known as the “Regina” armchair and “Junior” ottoman, the pair is crafted in raw hand-finished wood with rich orange suede upholstery, combining sculptural form with tactile luxury.

Artistic design with sculptural presence

The expressive carved frame demonstrates Palma’s mastery as both an artist and designer, with an aesthetic that transcends functional furniture. Upholstered in vivid suede, the chair’s throne-like silhouette and the generously tufted ottoman create an atmosphere of both comfort and drama. Mirabili intended its collections to embody the “Art of Living”, collaborating with leading artists and designers to create visionary works that bridge design, art, and poetry.

Urano Palma and cultural legacy

Urano Palma (1936–2010) was an Italian artist whose work was deeply influenced by postwar artistic movements, including Abstract Expressionism. His exploration of form, material, and spirituality resonated through his sculptural works and furniture designs. Palma’s collaborations with Mirabili are celebrated for their museum-quality character, often presented in galleries and collected by connoisseurs who appreciate the fusion of art and design.
