Jan Armgardt Papageno Sculptural Swivel Lounge Chair for Leolux, Netherlands, 1990s An iconic Papageno lounge chair, designed by German designer Jan Armgardt for Leolux in 1993. The Papageno is one of Leolux's most recognizable designs and is characterized by its exuberant organic silhouette, generous curved armrests and distinctive sculptural presence. Armgardt conceived the chair with an intentionally playful and almost anthropomorphic character, resulting in a design that remains instantly recognizable more than three decades after its introduction. This example features a dark taupe/brown suede upholstery combined with the characteristic sculptural aluminium swivel base. The organically shaped seat shell appears to float above the unusual star-shaped pedestal, giving the substantial chair a surprisingly light appearance. The sweeping backrest, rounded wings and curved front section flow almost continuously into one another. Decorative stitched seams emphasize the chair's organic geometry. The Papageno has remained part of the Leolux design vocabulary since its introduction in 1993 and represents an expressive example of Dutch postmodern and organic design of the 1990s. A highly decorative statement chair suitable for both contemporary and vintage interiors. Designer & Manufacturer Designer: Jan Armgardt Manufacturer: Leolux Model: Papageno Design year: 1993 Country: The Netherlands Period: 1990s Style: Postmodern / Organic Modern / Dutch Design Materials Suede upholstery Aluminium swivel base Internal upholstered frame Dimensions Width: 90 cm / 35.43 in Height: 86 cm / 33.86 in Depth: 75 cm / 29.53 in Seat Height: 42 cm / 16.54 in Condition Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The chair retains its existing dark suede upholstery, which shows visible signs of use including variations in color, rubbing, marks and surface wear, as shown in the photographs. The aluminium swivel base shows normal age-related wear. Due to the condition of the existing suede, professional reupholstery is recommended. The chair provides an excellent opportunity for reupholstery while retaining the distinctive original seams, proportions and sculptural character of the Papageno design. Upholstery Option Professional reupholstery can be arranged upon request. The Papageno works particularly well in high-quality suede, nubuck or soft leather, which emphasizes its flowing organic shape. A premium wool or textured upholstery fabric would also provide a more contemporary interpretation. For this chair, I would personally choose warm cognac/camel suede or nubuck. That would look especially strong against the aluminium base. Packing & Worldwide Shipping Professional worldwide shipping is available. For suitable road or container transportation, the chair can be professionally soft-packed free of charge. For overseas or air freight, we can arrange a custom-made ISPM 15 certified wooden crate for maximum protection during transport. Worldwide shipping by road, air or sea freight can be arranged.
