Rare Giro armchair by Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.
A comfortable and unexpected office chair, produced in few pieces by Gavina in 1962.
The circular rotating seat rests on four cylindrical chromed metal legs.
The curved veneered plywood sides and backrest contain foam and down filled cushions, upholstered in leather.
An example of wonderful design intelligence.
