Forged Sculptural Brutalist Steel and vegetable tan leather lounge chair

About the Item

Sculptural Steel & Leather Chair by Joseph Dieppa Collectible Design Los Angeles, 2024 A singular work by Los Angeles-based designer Joseph Dieppa, this sculptural chair exists at the intersection of fine art and functional form. Handcrafted from solid steel and upholstered in vegetable-tanned leather, the piece is both physically grounded and visually fluid. A study in contrast and form, the design merges Art Nouveau’s organic curves with a Brutalist exoskeleton frame, raw leather, and the quiet restraint of mid-century modern design. The chair’s splayed legs and whiplash silhouettelend a sense of movement, while the materiality of steel and leather root it firmly in the physical. The steel frame, hand-shaped and finished with a forced patina, offers depth and variation. The vegetable-tanned leather will evolve naturally over time, shifting from soft, pink-tan tones to rich, warm browns — a living surface that records its environment. This piece embodies collectible contemporary design, merging sculptural art with high-end craftsmanship. Due to its intentionally flexible structure and hand-forged form, slight movement is an inherent part of the design. This piece exemplifies studio-crafted collectible furniture and is ideal for luxury interiors, design collectors, or art-focused spaces.

Contemporary Sculptural Marble and Steel minimalist coffee table
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Designed and crafted in downtown Los Angeles by Dieppa Design. Built from solid 1” thick steel rods and a unique heavily veined marble slab. A Unique viewing experiences from every angle. Marble top: 34.5” Height: 18 3/4” Base undulates from 34.5” wide to 43” wide This piece is a conversation of two materials. The curves of the steel are a response to the circumference of the circle of marble. The steel simultaneously mirroring and rejecting the marble’s form—steel jutting towards and away from the marble. At moments surrounding and supporting and other moments pushing against and away from the marble’s surface. The composition of the steel can also be understood as a moment of action frozen in time—a tightly wound spool of string beginning to unravel. This work proposes the idea of sculpture as furniture. Please note: the top is a sourced vintage marble slab...
