About the Item

“Bulle” or Bubble lounge chair by Christian Daninos, designed during the late 1960s and produced by Édition Formes Nouvelles. The half-sphere in plexiglass is supported by a chromed steel structure. For comfort, a black woolen pillow is added to the interior. Regarding the condition, other than giving the sphere a polish to remove most of the scratches and giving it an overall uniform gloss, we have left the chair untouched. The fabric cushion and interior foam are in used, but good condition; we will leave it to the buyer to decide if re-upholstering is necessary. The metal chromed frame has some signs of age as per images. The Christian Daninos Bulle Chair is part of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (MAD) collection in Paris. Origination: France, 1960s Condition: Good vintage condition. Signs of wear, small scratches on the plexiglass sphere where it rests on the metal structure. Metal frame signs of use as per images. Materials: Chromed steel, plexiglass, wool Approximate dimensions: Height: 120 cm Depth: 90 cm Width: 116 cm
