The piece is made of molded laminate wood. Presidential armchairs and sofa take advantage of molded laminate to create a light, organic structure that elegantly welcomes voluminous cushions.
Much more than rationalizing design, Zalszupin focused mainly on acquiring and using new technologies and materials to make series production viable. This focus on new technologies and materials meant a path to the aesthetic freedom that he desired so much, and the molded laminated rosewood allowed the designer to execute the longed-for curves without necessarily implying the adoption of long and expensive manual processes.
These pieces are in very good vintage condition, and present rare feet in Rosewood - these details appear more commonly in chrome.
