About the Item
A refined Italian lounge chair from the 1950s, distinguished by a clean, modern silhouette and a light yet expressive structure. The design is defined by generous upholstered volumes set within a slender black-lacquered metal rod frame, creating a balanced contrast between softness and graphic linearity.
The chair features a broad, low seat and a gently inclined backrest, offering a relaxed and comfortable seating position. Both elements retain their original upholstery, finished in a warm rust-toned fabric with a subtle diagonal texture that enhances the depth and character of the surface. The fabric shows natural signs of age consistent with its originality, including light wear and minor variations in tone, adding authenticity and vintage charm.
The structure is crafted from black-painted tubular metal, with slightly splayed legs and visible cross-bracing at the rear that contributes to both stability and visual rhythm. The lacquered metal shows small signs of wear and age-related patina, particularly at contact points, fully consistent with a mid-century piece of this period.
Overall, the chair remains structurally sound and presents well, combining comfort, restrained elegance, and a distinctly modern 1950s Italian aesthetic. A versatile piece suitable for both residential and curated interior settings, appreciated for its honest materials, original condition, and timeless design language.
