Pair of Italian Benches Attributed to Guglielmo Ulrich, 1940s

A refined pair of Italian benches attributed to Guglielmo Ulrich, dating from the 1940s, embodying the designer's distinctive balance between structural lightness and sculptural elegance.

Crafted in luminous blonde maple, the frames are defined by slender tapered legs and a gently curved backrest that appears to float between the uprights with graceful tension. The continuous rear element - softly arched and rounded at the corners - recalls Ulrich's celebrated seating designs of the period, where rationalist clarity meets a subtle decorative sensibility. The fine, shimmering grain of the maple enhances the purity of the lines and emphasizes the sculptural quality of the silhouette.

The seats have been newly upholstered in a soft, high-quality boucle fabric with a rich tactile texture. The creamy tone complements the warmth and luminosity of the maple while introducing a contemporary note that remains fully respectful of the original spirit. The generous padding adds a welcoming, sculptural volume that contrasts elegantly with the linear precision of the frames.

Elegant and versatile, these benches work beautifully at the end of a bed, in an entryway, or placed within a room as subtle architectural accents.

The maple frames have been carefully restored and refinished, preserving their natural luminosity and highlighting the movement of the grain.

The benches are available as a pair or individually.
