تعبير جريء عن الحركة، يستمد كرسي أكانثو بذراعين إلهامه من الأناقة الدوامية لتصميم باروكو الأيقوني من فيرساتشي. نحتي في حضوره ومتدفق في شكله، يمزج القوة بالحسية، مصمم لجذب الانتباه وإضفاء الرقي على أي مكان. المسند الخلفي، المشكل كلفافة متفتحة، يردد أوراق الأكانثوس لزخرفة باروكو، بينما تبرز رأس ميدوسا الرمزية على الجانب، مما يثبت الصورة الظلية الديناميكية للكرسي. مكسو بالألبكا الفاخرة أو النوبوك، تقدم القطعة تخصيصاً لا نهائياً - سواء من خلال تركيبات راقية من القوام واللمسات النهائية أو قماش بيان شامل يعكس رموز الدار التي لا تخطئ.
Frame in wood, padded with polyurethane and fiberfill before being upholstered. The brand's framing: "A bold gesture in motion. Inspired by the swirling elegance of Barocco, the Acantho armchair blends sculptural strength with sensual curves." The wooden substructure is the rigid skeleton; the PU + fiberfill creates the shaped, cushioned upper register. Different from a steel-frame chair: wood is warmer, quieter, and shaped to the curves of the Acantho silhouette.
The Acantho name references the acanthus leaf — a classical Greek/Roman ornament that became the central motif of the Corinthian column capital. On the Acantho armchair, the acanthus reference is rendered as the enveloping scroll-form backrest — the upholstered shape itself reads as an unfurling acanthus leaf wrapping the sitter. Different from a chair with the acanthus as a printed pattern: here the acanthus is the architectural form. The backrest's curves and proportions are the family's defining identifier.
Cover non-removable; integrated into the chair's build. Three published surface options: fine alpaca (a soft pile fabric — the highest-touch option), nubuck (sanded leather, soft-handle leather option), or all-over Versace signature fabric (printed Barocco or other house pattern). The customer can mix finishes — alpaca on the seat with leather on the arms, for example — or specify all-over signature fabric. The non-removable construction means the customer's choice is permanent across the chair's life.
Decorative element: 3D Metal Medusa logo with metal ring, applied to the side of the backrest. Three published finishes: polished gold, polished chrome, or bronze. The Medusa-with-metal-ring is the Acantho family's distinctive hardware (different from the simple 3D Medusa on other Versace Home pieces — the metal ring is the family's specific register). Visible from the side at standing approach; the side placement (rather than back or seat) is unique to this family.
Feet in wood, stained wengé — the dark wood finish that anchors the upholstered upper register. Wengé is the dark register; same wengé vocabulary as elsewhere in the Versace Home catalogue (V-King bed feet, La Medusa bed feet, etc.). The dark feet read as the chair's structural anchor below the soft cushion register; choose alpaca/nubuck/fabric in any colour register and the wengé feet stay constant.
Detail of the Acantho family's distinctive hardware — the 3D Metal Medusa with metal ring, applied to the side of the backrest. The metal-ring framing is the family identifier (different from the simple Medusa on other Versace Home seating). Three finish options: polished gold (warm-tone luxury), polished chrome (cool contemporary), or bronze (matte mid-tone). Pair with the Acantho small armchair (id 39640) and the Acantho chaise longue for a coordinated Acantho family suite — same Medusa-with-metal-ring across all three.
Single configuration. At 95 W × 114 D × 69 H, the Acantho is the deeper-than-wide format — depth (114 cm) exceeds width (95 cm), unusual among armchairs. The deep dimension supports the enveloping scroll backrest's wrap geometry. The 69 H seat-back height is below typical chair-back register — sized for relaxed reclined posture rather than upright dining-chair sit. The acanthus-leaf form is the dominant visual register from the front.
Lateral view shows the backrest's enveloping scroll form — the acanthus reference visible as the curved volume from seat plan to backrest top. The deep 114 D dimension is the side axis; the chair extends front-to-back rather than side-to-side. The Medusa-with-metal-ring sits at the side at standing approach. Pair with the Acantho small armchair (id 39640 — 113 × 92 × 68 H) for a coordinated family — note the small variant has shallower depth (92 vs 114) and slightly wider footprint.
Rear view shows the unfurling acanthus form completes from the back — the scroll-back doesn't just face the sitter, it wraps around in three dimensions. Position the Acantho with the back exposed (centre-of-room rather than against a wall) to show the acanthus form in full. The wengé-stained wooden feet are visible at the four corners as the dark structural ground line.

The Acantho family debuted at Salone del Mobile / Milano Design Week 2025 as part of the Versace Home 2025 collection. The family includes the Acantho armchair (this product), the Acantho small armchair (id 39640), and the Acantho chaise longue. The family's defining elements are the acanthus-leaf form (sculpted scrollback as architectural reference rather than printed pattern), the Medusa-with-metal-ring hardware, and the wengé-stained wooden feet. The Versace Home 2026 collection extended the family with an Acantho Bed.
Different proportions and footprint, same family vocabulary. Standard Acantho (this product) is 95 × 114 × 69 H — narrow but deep, with a strong front-to-back axis. Small Acantho (id 39640) is 113 × 92 × 68 H — wider but shallower, with a more compact front-to-back depth. The standard reads as the deep-lounging-armchair format; the small reads as the more compact accent-armchair format. Both share the wooden frame, the acanthus enveloping-scroll backrest, the Medusa-with-metal-ring hardware (gold/chrome/bronze), and the wengé feet. Choose by room size and use — standard for primary lounge corners, small for tighter spaces or accent placement.
The acanthus is a Mediterranean leafy plant whose sculpted leaf form became one of classical architecture's defining ornaments — the Corinthian column capital is a stylised acanthus. On the Acantho armchair, the acanthus reference is rendered as the chair's silhouette itself: the enveloping scroll backrest is shaped as an unfurling acanthus leaf wrapping the sitter. Versace's Barocco aesthetic frequently quotes classical and baroque ornament; Acantho transforms a classical leaf motif into contemporary upholstered furniture, where the leaf becomes the chair's actual architectural form rather than a printed pattern.
Match the room's broader hardware register. Polished gold reads warm-tone luxury — pairs with gold-trimmed Versace Home interiors (V-King bed, gold Barocco V Metal applique pieces, gold-finish La Medusa Round Metal armchair). Polished chrome reads cool contemporary — pairs with chrome bathroom fittings, modern minimalist interiors. Bronze is the matte mid-tone — works in transitional spaces and with mixed metals. The metal ring around the Medusa is the family signature in all three finishes; only the metal colour changes.
Match the room's tactile register. Fine alpaca (soft pile fabric) reads as the highest-touch luxury option — soft to touch, slightly textured, deep-pile visual register. Nubuck (sanded leather, soft-handle) reads as a leather option that's softer than polished or aniline leather — leather warmth without leather's harder shine. All-over Versace signature fabric (printed Barocco or other house pattern) reads as the explicitly Versace-branded option — the printed pattern carries the brand visibly across the chair. Mix surfaces (alpaca on seat, leather on arms, signature fabric on back) for a multi-register custom register, or specify a single material across the whole chair for a cohesive register.
Yes — the Acantho family debuted at Salone 2025 with this standard armchair, the Acantho small armchair (id 39640), and the Acantho chaise longue. The Versace Home 2026 collection added an Acantho Bed. All family pieces share the wooden frame, the acanthus-leaf scroll-backrest geometry, the Medusa-with-metal-ring hardware (gold/chrome/bronze), and the wengé-stained wooden feet. Build a coordinated Acantho lounge: standard armchair as the primary lounge piece, chaise longue as the secondary daybed, small armchair as the accent — same hardware finish across all three for visual unity.
