Walter Leeman Zeppelin Armchairs for Velda Silver Leather, 1970

About the Item

Walter Leeman Zeppelin Armchairs for Velda Silver Leather, 1970 Stylish pair of very rare silver leather Zeppelin Armchairs. This pair of Space Age icons was produced in Italy in a very limited number and is in near perfect condition for its age. Even though the dimensions and design are as iconic as monumental with a width of 55" (140cm) the pieces seem to almost hover the floor. The design subsequently encapsulates the contradiction of light and heavy in use of material and the oblique angle of the often-referred-to-as-zeppelin shape. It is therefore noteworthy that the main weight (steel core, base) lies in the 'hidden' vertical tube that centers the chairs, keeps them based on the ground to remain in that narrative or image. Both chairs are damage-free, great condition, the foam cores are sturdy and very comfy- they are ready to install and use. The silver laminated leather upholstery is soft and of the highest quality and the shape of the chair allows for an extremely comfortable seat. Width: 55.15" Depth: 37.56" Height: 28" Seat Height: 17.5"
