About the Item

Hans Von Klier armchair for Giuseppe Rossi Di Albizzate, red leather, Italy, 1970. This Hans von Klier easy chair, designed in 1970 for Giuseppe Rossi di Albizzate, exemplifies a seamless blend of sculptural form and the space-age aesthetic of the era. Resting on a glossy black fiberglass base that mirrors the outline of the seat above, the chair achieves an almost weightless elegance: a singularly curved seating element, wrapped in vibrant red leather, seems to hover effortlessly, creating a striking tension between solidity and levity. The structure adopts a distinctive "book-like" configuration, with backrest and seat forming a unified volume. Tone-on-tone stitching enhances the minimalist aesthetic, adding subtle depth and texture. From different perspectives, the chair reveals shifting geometric expressions—the rear view highlights a striking balance between a rectangular backrest poised above a triangular base, evoking a two-dimensional illusion of simplicity. Comparable in spirit to the “Sandwich” armchair by Giampiero Vitelli and Titina Ammanati for Brunati, the design reflects the experimental approach to sculptural seating that defined the early 1970s. Hans von Klier’s broader contributions to Italian design include his collaborations with Olivetti and Ettore Sottsass, where he helped shape innovative industrial and graphic design. This chair distills his ability to transform complexity into elegant, functional modernism. We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request.
