Roberto Lucci & Paolo Orlandini for Elam 'Farfalla' Lounge Chair

About the Item

Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini for Elam, lounge chair model 'Le Farfalla', lacquered steel, fabric, plastic, Italy, design 1974 The designer duo Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini created this lovely lounge chair in 1974. 'Le Farfalla', meaning butterfly in Italian, derives its name from the wing-like structure of the frame, a shape that is further emphasized by the double jointed cushions. A visually interesting contrast is created between the rigid frame which is based on precise, geometrical shapes and the bulky cushions. The large seating area and the thick cushions ensure that it is a true delight to have a pleasant and enjoyable time while sitting on it. The artistry and innovativeness of this particular lounge chair ensures that it can be placed as a visual statement in your interior.    Kindly be aware that this lounge chair is in good, used condition.

    Florence Knoll for Knoll International, lounge chair, model '51', teak, fabric, United States, 1955 This slipper chair model 51 is designed by Florence Knoll.

Florence Knoll (1917-) was trained as an architect and had a sense of style from a very young age. In 1936 she met Alvar Aalto and was trained by Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe. This meant that although she was barely out of her teens, she was educated by the best of the European modernists.
