1960s Pamona armchair by Augusto Savini for Pozzi, Italy – sculptural black lacquer & cognac leather

An exceptional and increasingly rare “Pamona” dining/armchair designed in the 1960s by Augusto Savini for Pozzi, Italy. A masterful example of Italian modernist design, this piece embodies Savini’s distinctive architectural language—bold geometry, refined proportions, and superb craftsmanship.

The chair features a striking black-lacquered wooden frame with strong linear construction, beautifully contrasted by the warm cognac leather seat and curved backrest. The sculptural composition is further enhanced by its central structural supports and visible metal detailing, emphasizing both function and form. The slightly embracing arm structure and ergonomic seat height make it equally suitable as a dining chair or statement occasional chair.

Savini’s designs from this period are highly regarded for their balance of comfort and sculptural presence, and the Pamona model is one of his most recognizable works. Increasingly sought after by collectors of 20th-century Italian design, it fits seamlessly into modern, minimalist, and eclectic interiors alike.
