About the Item

Space age lounge chair. Made from fiberglass. The shell stands on a trumpet base and can be moved in any direction. Designed by Mario Bruno in 1964 and produced by Comfort, Italy. Also known for the iconic Elda chair by Joe Colombo. An Italian space age icon that suits every interior. The chair has been reupholstered in very comfortable teddy fabric. Made from real Merino wool. Warm, soft and comfortable with a seating position that can be adjusted in every way possible. Space age design: Whereas Atomic Age motifs and structures leaned towards design fields such as architecture and industrial design, Space Age design spread into a broader range of consumer products, including furniture, clothing fashion, and even animation styles, as with the popular television show The Jetsons. Beginning with the dawn of the Space Age (commonly attributed to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957, Space Age design captured the optimism and faith in technology that was felt by much of society during the 1950s and 1960s, together with the design possibilities afforded by newly accessible materials like fibreglass that had become much more widely available since the second world war. Space Age design also had a more vernacular character, appearing in accessible forms that quickly became familiar to mainstream consumers. Since the end of the 1970s, Space Age design has become more closely associated with kitsch and with Googie architecture for popular commercial buildings such as diners, bowling alleys, and shops, though the finest examples of its kind have remained desirable and highly collectible. "Space Age design is closely tied to the pop movement, the fusion of popular culture, art, design, and fashion".
