Oscar Niemeyer Ebonized Ash, Leather "Rio" Chaise Longue Manufactured by Fasem
Located in Miami, FL
Oscar Niemeyer Ebonized Ash, Leather "Rio" Chaise Longue Manufactured by Fasem
Offered for sale is an Oscar Niemeyer (Brazil, 1907-2012) ebonized ash and leather "Rio" chaise longue designed in 1978 and manufactured in Italy by Fasem International c2022. This wonderful rocking chaise is an iconic design from the famous Brazilian architect and designer.
Oscar Niemeyer made modernist architecture sexy. In his signature designs, such as those for the planned capital city of Brasília, Niemeyer created a distinctively buoyant architectural vocabulary of sweeping curves, flowing lines, and organic forms (attributes that also characterize his seductive furniture). As expressions of faith in the power of modern architecture and design to foster progress, Niemeyer’s buildings have a kind of heroic poetry. “I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man,” Niemeyer would write in his memoirs. “I am attracted to free-flowing sensual curves.”
In the early 1970s, Niemeyer began collaborating on furniture designs with his daughter, Anna Maria Niemeyer. Their best-known pieces are seating furniture — the Alta lounge chair and ottoman and the Rio rocking chaise...

Set of Three "Calida" Lounge Chairs by Giudici for Coim, Italy 1970s
By Giudici
Located in Utrecht, NL
Throughout the 20th century, and particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, Italian design reached its pinnacle of stylishness. By that point, the phrases "Bel Design" and "Linea Italiana" entered the lexicon of furniture design. The 1970s was a decade of mass production and innovation that signalled the end of the post-war rebuilding programme. However, unique designs and the overflow of creativity were still just as present, giving birth to outstanding pieces such as this set of 'Calida' lounge chairs.
Following the economic boom of the 1950s, the motto “design dictates, users follow” was the matrix of mass consumption society in Italy. Against this idea, the artists and designers of the coming decades defended a conception of design as an ecosystem that stressed the notion of play within everyday life. As a result, now-iconic design were created, such as the 'Sacco Bean Bag...

Vintage, New and Antique Chaise Longues
Sit back, relax and get all of the ergonomic support you could ever need by introducing an alluring antique or vintage chaise longue in your living room or by your outdoor fire pit.
The chaise longue is an upholstered piece of furniture that was made popular in France in the early 16th century. This low reclining seat — a “long chair” in English — boasts an elongated form and low back that extends about half the length of the furnishing, affording the welcome opportunity for a sitter to put their feet up and relax. A comfortable common ground between sofas and daybeds, early iterations of chaise longues were discovered in Ancient Egypt and were later frequently used in both Greece and Rome.
In the late 1700s, the first chaise longues were imported to America, and English speakers have struggled with the name ever since. (In the United States, the term is frequently spelled “chaise lounge.”) So, how do you pronounce chaise longue? It sounds like “shayz lawng,” but limiting it to shayz is perfectly acceptable in the States.
Antique Victorian chaise longues and 19th-century chaise longues bring luxury and perhaps extravagance to your living space while mid-century modern chaise longues, designed by the likes of Adrian Pearsall, Vladimir Kagan or Milo Baughman, can alter an interior with dazzling geometric contours and richly varied textures.
On 1stDibs, find many kinds of chaise longues for your home — from sculptural works by Charlotte Perriand to plush and velvety Louis XVI pieces to minimalist contemporary versions to suit your understated decor.
