- PLR1 Luar lounge chair by Ross Littell for ICF De Padova Italy 1960s, set of 2By Ross LittellLocated in Stavenisse, NLRoss F. Littell (July 14, 1924 – April 17, 2000) was an American textile and furniture designer known for his practical, innovative, and minimalist style as part of the good design movement of the 1950s. His three-legged T-chair, designed in 1952 with William Katavolos and Douglas Kelley, is part of several permanent museum collections.
