The Dodo Armchair by Ghidini 1961, designed by Stefano Giovannoni, is a contemporary masterpiece that merges sculptural elegance with exceptional comfort. Part of the Dodo family, this armchair features an extruded aluminum frame with a lowered supporting structure that “brushes the floor without touching it,” creating a visually lightweight yet robust design. Measuring 100 cm in width, 95 cm in depth, and 78 cm in height, it combines a painted strapped metal and plywood panel structure with a die-cast aluminum base available in 16 finishes, showcasing Ghidini 1961’s expertise in metal craftsmanship. The seat and backrest are generously padded with polyurethane rubber cushions of varying densities, while the back and lateral cushions are filled with quilted goose down for plush comfort, all fully upholstered in premium materials such as Adamo & Eva velvet, Cord corduroy, Bogardine, Clay, Tivano leather, or Nabuk leather. Clients can customize the armchair by selecting from 19 fabric colors or multiple leather finishes, with removable seat and back cushion covers for easy maintenance. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni—a prolific industrial designer renowned for blending popular appeal with high-end aesthetics—the Dodo Armchair reflects his collaboration with Ghidini 1961 as the brand’s Art Director, emphasizing innovation and Italian craftsmanship. Ideal for residential interiors, this piece balances minimalist lines with luxurious comfort, embodying Ghidini 1961’s legacy of harmonizing classical techniques with modern design.
