Memphis style black leather lounge chairs in the manner of Ettore Sottsass, 1980

About the Item

These on of a kind Memphis-style chairs capture the essence of postmodern design with their bold shapes. The backrests feature a curved silhouette reupholstered in a stunning black leather. The seats, finished in a glossy dark grey laminate, offers a sleek and polished surface that contrasts beautifully with the backrests. Four sturdy steel cylindrical legs, giving the piece a distinctive yet grounded presence. Perfect as statement pieces or a functional work of art, these chairs embodie the Memphis movement’s ethos. The chairs are very heavy due to the steel base and legs. 2 sets available. Priced per set of 2.
