About the Item

Very beautiful and iconic pair of rare lounge chairs designed by Gastone Rinaldi in 1954, Italy. The shape of the armchairs is sculptural, unique, and extraordinary: the two delicate armrests merge to form a backrest with very filigree contours, without restricting the comfort of the seat. The legs of the chairs are very finely designed and form a wonderful symbiosis with the organically shaped seat. For us, this model is an early avant-garde example of a new design direction in Europe. Just as Finn Juhl once introduced Danish modernism with an extraordinary redefinition of design with organically shaped furniture, Gastone Rinaldi found contour-soft and ergonomic shapes almost at the same time and projected them onto his designs. Both lounge chairs are newly reupholstered with a high-quality fabric by Dedar. The frame comes with oak legs, the fabric is made out of a natural white-beige bouclé with a beautifully soft feel. The chairs were produced between 1955-1960 and both are in excellent condition.
