Rare Jacques Harold Pollard Lounge Chair, Matteo Grassi Italy, 1987

About the Item

Stunning Lounge chair designed by Jacques Harold Pollard for Matteo Grassi Italy in 1987. Chair is red leather with light patina as pictured and a custom green powder coated frame. This chair is a true work of functional art and a statement piece. Chair design is incredible and seating is comfortable. In 1880 in the Brianza region of Italy, the Grassi family began crafting saddles, bridles, reins, and other leather equipment for horses. Following World War II, the Grassis joined the rapid industrialization under way in northern Italy and expanded their production to include a wide range of leather goods, especially items for both the home and public interiors. By the late 1970s, Matteo Grassi had built an international reputation for distinctive, finely made leather furniture, from chairs and sofas, to tables and beds. One of the most successful among the brand’s early original designs was Tito Agnoli’s Korium Armchair (1979). Over the years, Matteo Grassi has worked with an impressive roster of designers, such as Carlo Bartoli, Piero Lissoni, Alessandro Mendini, Franco Poli, Eoos, Luigi Massoni, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Nunziati, Mauro Lipparini, and Rodolfo Dordoni. This chair has a versatile design and works with any style of design / decor like Post Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Vintage, Italian Modern, Danish Modern, Scandinavian, Bohemian.
