Pair of rare Italian Mid-Century Lounge Chairs Model DU 55 P by Gastone Rinaldi

About the Item

Pair of Italian Mid-Century Lounge Chairs Model DU 55 P by Gastone Rinaldi Gastone Rinaldi designed this chair in 1955 for Italian production company Rima. Over the years, this chair has become one of his most iconic designs and is highly sought after. It is easy to understand why: the shape of the armchairs is sculptural and unique: the two armrests merge to form an elegant backrest. It is an extraordinary combination of technical craftmanship and fantastic design. The Du 55 chair has a steel structure with moulded polyurethane foam padding. The suspended backrest gives elasticity to the structure and takes advantage of a metal tubing construction to its fullest. RIMA later filed a patent application for the design. The conical feet are made from oak and have brass caps. The chair has been reupholstered in an oyster coloured fabric.
