About the Item

Pair of ‘Gena’ Lounge Chairs by Claudio Vagnoni for 1P, Italy, 1969 – Iconic Mid-Century Modern Design Description: An iconic pair of “Gena” lounge chairs designed by Claudio Vagnoni for 1P in Italy, 1969. These sculptural chairs capture the bold innovation of late-1960s Italian design—combining soft, organic lines with an effortlessly modern silhouette. Claudio Vagnoni is an Italian industrial designer whose work bridges the rationality of modernism with the comfort-focused ethos of Italian domestic design. Active during the 1960s and '70s, Vagnoni collaborated with progressive furniture manufacturers like 1P, contributing to Italy’s emergence as a global design leader. His designs are often characterized by flowing forms, human-centered proportions, and a deep understanding of both aesthetics and function. The "Gena" chair stands as one of his most recognizable creations and exemplifies his forward-thinking approach to modular, lounge-oriented seating. Each chair features luxurious brown velour upholstery with rich texture and sheen. Generously cushioned with an inviting, pillow-like structure, the chairs offer superior comfort while remaining highly sculptural. The armless, low-slung form encourages relaxed lounging—perfect for modern interiors, conversation areas, or reading nooks. Dimensions: Depth: 105 cm Width: 95 cm Height: 67 cm Seat height: 44 cm Both chairs are in good vintage condition with minor signs of wear, consistent with age and light use. The original fabric is intact and well-preserved, adding authenticity to their vintage character. Rarely seen on the market, this pair represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a true piece of mid-century Italian design history. 2 available – price per item.
