The first Arco, in 1961, did not turn. Our founder added the swivel a year later, after watching his father drag an armchair round the living room every afternoon to follow the sun.
Forty years in one chair
A customer in Turin sent us a photograph of her Arco: the leather on the right arm darker than the left, from forty years of a reading lamp on that side.
Silence
The bearing in the base is sealed and greased for life. If you can hear it turn, send it back to us.
