A masterful reissue presented in collaboration with the Fondazione Vico Magistretti, the R 513 Armchair brings back a timeless piece originally conceived in the 1980s to celebrate Gervasoni’s centenary. Rooted in the rich tradition of Italian craftsmanship, this R 513 Armchair elevates raw material into structural art. It is a striking, poetic addition to high-end residential lounges, sunrooms, and sophisticated contemporary interiors. Magistretti’s signature focus on formal clarity shines through a graphic interplay of solids and voids. The armchair establishes a lightweight yet sharply defined volume that introduces transparency to any room. Eschewing tradition where weaving is purely decorative, the premium Manau rattan is the architecture. A dense, rhythmic sequence of vertical elements bends and flows in a single continuous line, seamlessly integrating the backrest and armrests. The design honors Gervasoni’s 1882 origins as a small wicker workshop in Friuli, combining historic local weaving culture with modern, mid-century structural intelligence. The airy, organic shell is beautifully balanced by a plush seat cushion, upholstered in Gervasoni’s curated premium fabrics .
