1970s Italian Post-Modern Lounge Chair in White Fiberglass

Lounge chair, fabric, fiberglass, Italy, 1970s

This exquisite armchair, crafted with a fiberglass base in Italy, embody the post-modern spirit of the 1970s. The frames are made from white fiberglass, a material greatly used during the era for its versatility and ability to inspire bold, unconventional shapes. The design is both bulky and geometric, featuring a robust, trapezoidal body that exudes a striking visual presence. A standout feature are the rounded armrests that are draped over the edges, giving the chair a soft, cushioned appearance despite its substantial form. The seat and backrest are heavily padded, providing comfort while maintaining a blocky, almost sculptural aesthetic. The turquoise-blue upholstery displays a bold, patterned textile with circular, almost mandala-like motifs, typical of the vibrant and experimental textile designs of the 1970s. The feet of this lounge chair are a distinctive design element, cleverly concealed beneath the fiberglass base and partially recessed so that only a small portion of each wooden ball is visible. Altogether, the chairs exude a dynamic, almost toy-like quality that will undoubtedly serve as striking elements in any interior.

Kindly note that the fabric is in used condition with signs of age and use, including wear marks and a hole.
