About the Item
Playful, sculptural, and unmistakably bold, this pair of Italian cantilever barstools by Luigi Bardini, designed in the 1970s for Miniforms Design. Each stool features a gracefully curved chrome tubular frame, paired with a faceted Lucite backrest that appears to float above the plush, tiger-print velvet seat.
A label underneath confirms Italian origin with Miniforms Made in Italy branding on a 1970s style label. Some sources attribute U.S. distribution or licensed production to Hill Manufacturing, suggesting a potential cross-continental partnership during the 1970s or early 1980s.
The mix of luxurious materials - clear Lucite, polished chrome, and animal print upholstery, creates a visually striking presence, balancing refinement with a dash of glam. These barstools are a fantastic example of Postmodern Italian design, showing clear influence from Hollywood Regency, Space Age, and even Memphis Milano aesthetics. The silhouette echoes the expressive forms found in 1970s and 1980s design, making these stools a natural fit for Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, or Eclectic interiors.
Ideal for both residential and commercial environments, these stools would be a showstopping addition to a home bar, kitchen island, boutique hotel lounge, design studio, or members-only cocktail club. Their cantilever construction also lends them comfort and flexibility as stylish barstools, counter stools, or occasional seating.

Pair of Club Chairs by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani Italy, c 1970, Signed
By Claudio Salocchi, Sormani
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This newly reupholstered pair of club chairs by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, circa 1970s, features graceful chrome frames with nubby white bouclé fabric. Signed with 1960s/ 1970s Sormani label as shown in photo gallery.
*Note, we have the matching sofa available in another listing.
The graceful frames share a design quality with Cassina's LC2 / LC3 design by Le Corbusier, as they are 'buckets of cushions' in similar fashion and comfort. However these Sormani lounge chairs feature some unique subtle details, such as the slight "twist" in the rear legs (see photos).
Signed with a Sormani label, this particular rare design is attributed to Claudio Salocchi. While there were several other famous designers who created works for Sormani in this time period, the style best matches Salocchi's work. For collectors looking for something unique and rare within a collection of 1960s/ 1970s Italian designs, this pair of easy chairs are an amazing opportunity.
