About the Item
A bold architectural presence characterises this pair of vintage chairs, likely dating to the late 1960s or early 1970s. Sculptural and angular, they reflect the experimental energy of an era where industrial materials and radical form began to influence interior design.
Design
The chairs combine brushed stainless steel with vivid red leather in a geometric construction. Built on sharply angled triangular bases, the design elevates the seat into a dramatic forward-leaning posture, reminiscent of Brutalist architecture and early Space Age aesthetics. The seat itself forms an inverted truncated pyramid; an unexpected shape that cradles the body in a surprisingly ergonomic embrace.
This kind of sculptural formalism aligns with a period in which design became more expressive, moving away from the soft organic forms of the early modernists toward a harder-edged, machine-informed visual language. Though unmarked, these pieces may have originated as a custom commission or a limited production run; possibly for a public or commercial interior. Their composition and material palette suggest affinities with Italian experimental design from the same period, where designers pushed the boundaries between furniture and art.
Condition
The chairs are authentic and have some wear on the metal frames. Both chairs retain their original red leather, which shows surface wear, creasing and minor abrasions consistent with age and use. Re-upholstery options are available upon request.

Pair of Eugenio Gerli Model 126 Lounge Chairs Società Compensati Curvi, Italy
By Eugenio Gerli, Società Compensati Curvati
Located in Hellouw, NL
These beautiful bentwood chairs were designed in 1958 by the Italian architect Eugenio Gerli for Società Compensatie Curvi. This company, which was located in Monza at the time, specialized in manufacturing highly stylized chairs made of bentwood with a modular choice offered to the customer. For example, there was a catalog showing that at that time you could choose from different types of bases and bodies. These specific lounge chairs are made up of seven layers of glued and bent teak veneer. A special example of craftsmanship and artistry in which technique and aesthetics effortlessly come together. The body is attached to a beautiful slender black-painted metal base by means of four bolts. The considerable contrast between the base and the seating area seems to make the chair float. The opening at the back of the seat allows for an angelic light...
