About the Item
The design of the “CP1” dates to 1963, an era when experimentation with new forms and materials was still ongoing in Italy. The results - as demonstrated by these chairs - preserved the sculptural forms and luxurious features that Italian design has been known for centuries.
The design of this pair is focused on elegant and measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements including the exclusive materials. The straight lines of the leather slat backs and the curved shape of the frames exemplify this balance. Marco Comolli’s design language was always coherent with current times and congenial to the wisdom of furniture manufacturing, representing an outpost of strong innovation in the panorama of Italian craftsmanship. His pieces have a clear preoccupation with wood, and here the pairing of the beautiful wooden frames with the upholstered seats and back cushions show off both materials’ elegance. The solid wood frame and leather interact with each other uniquely, as most of the backrests and seats are made from the latter material. The patinated leather straps go through the black stained wooden parts creating a strong contrast and a rustic impression. The beauty of the wood in return is showed off on the crossing sides manifested in the flowing curves. The elegant aesthetic is completed by the voluptuous seat and back cushions upholstered in black leather. Their thickness is accentuated by the deep button tufting arranged in a square pattern. From the leather strapping to the unique frame and cushions, these lounge chairs are sure to draw all the attention.
Like their international contemporaries, Italian designers prized the marriage of form and function, but there are a few key differences that set Italian mid-century design apart. In Italy, good design was generally defined by unique forms, perfect execution, and a strong sense of exclusivity.

Sculptural Lounge Chairs by Nino Zoncada for Frimar, Italy 1950s
By Nino Zoncada
Located in Utrecht, NL
The postwar boom years of the 1950s through to the 1960s were one of the periods of greatest influence of Italian designers. Design in the 50s paved a way to a more aesthetical approach to products as opposed to its utilitarian predecessors, resulting in exceptional pieces like these lounge chairs.
Giovanni “Nino” Zoncada was an Italian furniture designer who worked extensively designing furniture and interiors for luxury ships. In the late 1940s, Zoncada collaborated with Gio Ponti in the interior design of the cruise liners Conte Biancamano and Conte Grande. Among his most famous furniture designs are these iconic and richly upholstered lounge chairs with relatively high and curved armrests. This pair of lounge chairs combines a luxurious dark velvet fabric...
