Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi (Italy c20th)

‘Ribbon’ Lounge Chairs (Model CL9), Fiarm. Italy.

102 x 67 x 58cm high (seat height 38.5cm at the front)

Iconic and revolutionary 1960s design chairs manufactured in lacquered fiberglass and with chrome plated tubular frames. The chairs are very comfortable due the wide and ergonomically slightly tilted seat with integrated armrests which hangs on to the tubular frame with the use of rubber molds attached under the armrests. The cantilever tubular frames provide a subtle bounce and gives the chair an open, elegant sculptural look.

Good original condition with only minor evidence of age and use – The rubber molds below the seats were re-glued to the seats at some point in the 1970s.
