    Vintage 1960s Liisi Beckmann for Zanotta “Karelia” Armchair – Italy

     

    These bold and sculptural Karelia armchairs, designed by Finnish-born Liisi Beckmann in 1966 for Zanotta, are icons of mid-century Italian design. Their undulating, frameless polyurethane foam forms evoke the shoreline contours of Beckmann’s native Republic of Karelia, rendered in vivid red vinyl.

     

    As one of the first frameless armchairs ever conceived, the Karelia paved the way for a more expressive, experimental approach to seating in the 1960s. Their soft, wave-like surface cradles the body, offering both visual intrigue and comfort.

     

    Dimensions:

    Width: 75 cm 

    Depth: 80 cm 

    Height: 60 cm 

    Seat height: 35 cm 

    Made in Italy, circa 1960s.

     

    These chairs were carefully selected, transported, and inspected. Their surfaces show gentle age-related character—scuffs or slight wear in places, that underline their authenticity and vintage appeal.
