About the Item
This early edition GOMMA chair by BBB Emmebonacina is a stunning embodiment of 1970s Italian design, exuding a unique blend of playful form and functional comfort. This particular piece, preserved in its original fabric, is a true collector's item, capturing the avant-garde spirit of the era.
Designer trio 'Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi' came together in the early 1960s. They were part of a wave of young designers who sought to challenge traditional design norms and explore new materials, forms, and functions. Their approach was often characterized by playful creativity, a keen interest in contemporary culture, and an emphasis on innovation. They quickly gained attention for their ability to combine pop art influences with industrial production techniques.
Design
Designed in 1967, the Gomma chair was made from polyurethane foam, a material that was relatively new to furniture design at the time. The use of polyurethane foam allowed for a sculptural, organic form that was both comfortable and visually striking. The name "Gomma," which means "rubber" in Italian, reflects the chair's soft, pliable nature.
The Gomma chair was part of a broader exploration by De Pas, D'Urbino e Lomazzi of new materials and production techniques that could break away from the rigid, structured designs of traditional furniture. The chair’s design was minimalistic yet expressive, embodying the designers' interest in creating pieces that were as much about art as they were about function.
The chair has sculptural curves that are reminiscent of organic forms, creating a cozy cocoon-like seat that invites relaxation. The deep, earthy hue of the upholstery adds warmth and elegance, making it a versatile statement piece for any modern interior. With its bold, yet inviting design, the GOMMA chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a work of art that pays homage to the innovative spirit of Italian craftsmanship.
Condition
The chair is in very good condition, however the original fabric has two small ‘holes’ in there. Upon request, this chair can be re-upholstered.
Due to the fact that this is signed with ‘Emmebonancina’ we know this chair is made between 1967 and 1973, when they changed the name to the more simple ‘Bonancina’

Sculptural Lounge Chair Model “Sess” by Nani Prina for Sormani, Italy 1960s
By Sormani, Nani Prina
Located in Hellouw, NL
The Italian designer and journalist Nani Prina (1938) is a versatile figure who has always been involved in design, architecture and publishing. From 1969 he headed the magazine Ville e Giardini, which still exists today. We can characterize him as a jack-of-all-trades who has completed numerous projects in the field of single-family architecture, public, private and industrial construction. But designing furniture for a variety of labels is also part of his impressive arsenal.DesignThis special and very groovy design was manufactured at the time by the Italian high-end furniture manufacturer Sormani, who did not shy away from very distinctive designs. This “Sess” is somewhere between a lounge chair and a chaise longue and it is possible to seat it in different ways. That is what the form also communicates. An ambiguity that is strongly present in both form and function.The sloping and challenging lines ultimately form the mysterious and initially indefinable character of this chair. A sculpture? Of course. But with its curved shapes and long curved lines, it also absolutely belongs in the space age style. The contours are reminiscent of an extraterrestrial landscape and at the same time we strongly perceive the notion of abstracted human forms that are intertwined with each other. This “Sess” chair...
