1 of 3 mid century Matteo Grassi MG5 Cantilever Armchair by Mart Stam, Italy, 1980s – Model B34, Grey Leather

A stunning vintage Matteo Grassi MG5 cantilever armchair, designed in the tradition of Mart Stam’s iconic cantilever chair and produced in Italy during the 1980s.

This elegant armchair features grey genuine leather upholstery, a beautifully crafted chrome-plated tubular steel frame, and distinctive leather-wrapped armrests.

The MG5 / Model B34 is a refined interpretation of the classic cantilever chair concept, originally developed by Mart Stam in the 1920s. Its cantilever construction provides a subtle flexibility when seated, combining excellent comfort with a sophisticated architectural appearance.

The understated grey leather gives the chair a timeless and versatile character, making it an excellent choice for a dining room, office, study, lounge or contemporary interior.

The chair features Matteo Grassi leather embossing on the backrest, adding an authentic designer detail and confirming its original Italian manufacture.
