French Vintage Goldfinger armchair, Green, Michel Cadestin Style Space Age

About the Item

Amazing Goldfinger armchair, made of fiberglass and a chrome-plated steel base, with a khaki upholstered cushion and thick boucle. Its design is inspired by the works of Michel Cadestin (1942–), designer of the furniture for the Centre Georges Pompidou in 1976, the Karaté armchair (1960s), and the work table created in 1978. He studied at the famous Ecole Boulle and also graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Both in design and materials, it closely follows the principles of the Space Age. His futuristic vision is perfectly captured in this piece of striking curved lines in its white fiberglass structure (a color closely linked to Op Art, a movement also closely associated with the Space Age), offering an elegant and sophisticated piece of furniture that adds a contemporary and modern touch to any space. Space Age It follows the aesthetic canons of the Space Age style, a style that has made a strong comeback and is part of current trends in interior design and decoration. The "Space Age" or "Space Age" emerged between the late 1950s and early 1970s. It is based on the idea of ​​an optimistic world following the success of atomic energy and space travel. This style is aesthetically inspired by the American space race and everything related to outer space, such as space satellites, helmets, ships, the effect of weightlessness, and an optimistic proposal for a new futuristic lifestyle. The sphere is adopted as the main morphological reference, as we see in the design of this piece, referencing satellites or space helmets. Aerospace engineers influenced design and architecture through the adaptability of the materials they created for flight. This aesthetic influenced all fields of design: architecture, industrial products, interiors, clothing, graphics, textiles, etc., and also influenced major designers. Shipping costs include custom-made professional packaging and personalized shipping, with tracking number and warranty.
