About the Item

Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini for Elam, lounge chair, model 'Le Farfalle', chromed metal, coated metal, fabric, plastic, Italy, circa 1970 Italian designer duo Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini created a striking piece that brings vibrant allure to any room while enhancing the very experience of relaxation. Le Farfalle – Italian for butterfly – takes its name from the wing-like structure of its frame, a form further accentuated by the generously thick seating cushions. A compelling visual contrast emerges between the rigid frame, defined by precise geometric lines, and the soft, voluminous cushions. The spacious seating area and plush padding ensure exceptional comfort, making time spent on it truly enjoyable. With their artistry and innovative design, this lounge chair stands out as a bold visual statement in any interior. Please note that we advise reupholstery before use. This item contains threadbare upholstery with loose seams and small stains. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.
