Gastone Rinaldi Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chair Armchair Set, Italy circa 1960
By Gastone Rinaldi
Located in Atlanta, GA
A stunning pair of Italian lounge chairs designed by Gastone Rinaldi for RIMA, crafted circa 1960. The chairs feature sleek, glossy black enamel metal frames with the elegant, architectural lightness characteristic of Rinaldi's mid‑century work. The seats and backs have been newly reupholstered in a fine ivory‑beige tweed, a fabric that enhances their soft, sculptural silhouette while complementing the graphic contrast of the frame. The gently curved, enveloping form provides exceptional comfort, giving the pair a warm, inviting presence despite their minimalist structure. The design balances modernist restraint with subtle sensuality—an unmistakable hallmark of Rinaldi's approach to ergonomics and line. There is no visible designer's signature, consistent with many RIMA productions from the period. A sophisticated addition to contemporary, mid‑century, or eclectic interiors, these chairs offer both visual clarity and tactile comfort, making them ideal for collectors and private design‑forward spaces. Measurements: Overall for one chair: 23.62 in wide (60 cm) by 23.62 in deep (60 cm) by 31.10 in high (79 cm). The seat cushion is 16.94 in high (43 cm). Reference: Gastone Rinaldi (1920–2006) was an influential Italian designer whose career helped shape the evolution of post‑war modern furniture...
