About the Item

"Le Farfalle" lounge chair designed by Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini in 1970, in black painted tubular metal with two loose fabric cushions, produced in Brazil by Novo Rumo. The low seat and reclined backrest make it a chair for an extended, resting position. The frame is tubular metal of circular section, painted black. It forms two inclined planes, one for the backrest and one for the seat, connected by a longitudinal base in a tube of larger diameter that rests directly on the floor. The upholstery consists of two independent cushions in a gray-beige fabric, suspended on the frame by leather straps and lacing in braided cord, visible at the backrest and where the seat meets the base. An exposed coil spring in the lower part of the structure gives the lounge chair its flexibility. Roberto Lucci and Paolo Orlandini worked together in Italian design from the late 1960s, in a period marked by structural experiment and by a new idea of comfort. In "Le Farfalle" the frame is treated as an exposed skeleton, while the loose cushions rest on it almost as independent objects, joined by fastenings that are a deliberate, visible part of the design. The lounge chair measures 70 centimeters high, 78 centimeters wide and 87 centimeters deep (27.6 by 30.7 by 34.3 inches). It shows wear consistent with age and use on the painted metal, the leather straps and the fabric.
