About the Item

Rare red vintage leatherette lounge chairs in the style of Robert Haussmann for De Sede. Hand-built in Italy during the 1950s, these rare armchairs have a chromed steel frame and red faux leather, capitonne, cushions. The conditions are appropriate for their age and their patina will be the focal point of a midcentury-style living room. On request, we can carry out a new chrome plating of the steel. The appeal of tubular stainless steel furniture is timeless. Created in 1954 as a tribute to Mies van der Rohe, Robert Haussmann’s famous chrome-plated flat steel RH-301 armchair reflects the old Bauhaus maxim which states that an item’s form and the materials used should follow its function. In 1958, Haussmann together with a group of Swiss colleagues formed the Swiss Design association, the production and distribution of whose furniture collection were taken over by De Sede in 1999.
