Midcentury Modern Bamboo and Wicker Italian Chaise Longue, 1960s

Amazing midcentury brown fabric and chromed steel chaise longue. This wonderful daybed is attributed to the American designer Paul Tuttle and was produced during the 1980s. This item is wonderful because of the structure of the chair, made of chromed steel and the tobacco brown fabric cover, made in one piece and adhering on the structure. The cover can be unsheathed from the back. The piece is incredibly elegant because of the structure and will smarten a living room or a midcentury studio.
