Very beautiful and iconic pair of original 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.
The frame comes with oak legs, the fabric is original. The chairs were produced between 1955-1960 and the frame and wood is in very good original condition.
The upholstery shows signs of age and use. Therefore, we advise reupholstery before use. This can be done before shipping by our experienced craftsman in our own in-house restoration atelier. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.
