About the Item
An iconic piece of Italian history, the rare Malu chair was the result of a collaboration between Claudio Vagnoni and Emilio Guarnacci in the 1970s. This stately modular lounge chair features a sleek black acrylic shell and retains its original gray upholstery with distinctive ruched detailing. Sitting slightly above the ground on round black acrylic feet, it embodies the bold yet refined aesthetic of the era. The original sticker, ‘Industria Chimica Per L’Arredamento - Modello Malu,’ remains intact on the shell. Sourced in France, 1970s.
