Papaia Lounge Chair by Ammannati & Vitelli for Rossi di Albizzate, Italy 1970s
About the Item
Papaia Lounge Chair designed by Ammannati & Vitelli for Rossi di Albizzate, Italy 1970s .
Step into the bold spirit of 1970s Italian design with the striking Papaia Lounge Chair, an iconic creation by Giovanni Ammannati and Nivio Vitelli for the visionary atelier Rossi di Albizzate. Encased in a gleaming black fiberglass shell that feels lifted from a retro-futurist dream, the Papaia wraps you in its deep, ergonomic embrace with sumptuous tobacco-hued leather cushions. The contrast between the hard, flowing shell and the soft, oversized upholstery captures the exhilarating tension of the era—where modernist precision met organic warmth.
Designed at the height of Italy’s design renaissance, the chair celebrates an audacious exploration of materials and form. Rossi di Albizzate, known for its fearless collaborations with forward-thinking designers, produced pieces that were never afraid to challenge the norm—and the Papaia is no exception.
With its sensuous curves, saturated tones, and commanding silhouette, this chair is more than furniture; it's functional art. Whether placed in a minimalist loft or an eclectic gallery, it demands attention and rewards it with comfort.
