Italian Avant-garde Lounge Chair
About the Item
Strikingly modern 1960's Italian lounge chair in dark brown stained ash with a tubular steel frame and black leather sling seat and back. According the original owner from Sicily, a vivid collector of avant-garde Italian design furniture and modern art, the chair was designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, but we haven't been able to find any documentation to back that up yet.
It surely resembles several Scarpa design solutions, but we couldn't find another example of this particular design in any book or online.
It definitely is a unique piece that looks great and is quite comfortable.
