Pair of Steel and Red Faux Leather Armchairs Skay after Hausmann De Sede, 1950s

About the Item

Rare red vintage leatherette lounge chairs in the style of Robert Haussmann for De Sede. Hand-built in Italy during the 1950s, these rare armchairs have a chromed steel frame and red faux leather, capitonne, cushions. The conditions are appropriate for their age and their patina will be the focal point of a midcentury-style living room. On request, we can carry out a new chrome plating of the steel. The appeal of tubular stainless steel furniture is timeless. Created in 1954 as a tribute to Mies van der Rohe, Robert Haussmann’s famous chrome-plated flat steel RH-301 armchair reflects the old Bauhaus maxim which states that an item’s form and the materials used should follow its function. In 1958, Haussmann together with a group of Swiss colleagues formed the Swiss Design association, the production and distribution of whose furniture collection were taken over by De Sede in 1999.
