A pair of reclining lounge chairs, Italy, 1960s
A stylish pair of Italian reclining lounge chairs dating to the 1960s, combining elegant architectural lines with exceptional comfort. Beautifully proportioned and highly versatile, the chairs embody the refined craftsmanship and innovative design that characterised Italian furniture production during the period.
Each chair is constructed with a solid hardwood frame featuring broad, angular arms and tapering supports, creating a strong geometric silhouette while maintaining a sense of visual lightness. The open framework is complemented by woven strap backrests in a rich green tone, introducing texture and subtle contrast to the warm timber.
A particularly desirable feature is the reclining mechanism, which allows the backrests to be adjusted through a range of positions for enhanced comfort and relaxation. This thoughtful functionality reflects the Italian approach to modern furniture design, where comfort and aesthetics were considered equally important.
The chairs have been fully reupholstered in a neutral cream fabric, providing a fresh and contemporary appearance while remaining sympathetic to the original design. The clean upholstery enhances the sculptural quality of the frames and balances the decorative character of the woven backs.
Ideal as lounge or reading chairs, the pair offers both visual appeal and practical comfort. Their combination of reclining functionality, quality materials, and sophisticated mid-century styling makes them particularly attractive for contemporary interiors.
Condition is very good overall. The chairs have been fully reupholstered and present exceptionally well. The reclining mechanisms operate smoothly. There is minor wear to the wooden frames consistent with age and use, including light surface marks and small signs of handling. Please refer to the photographs.
Dimensions - full upright position: 80cm high, 68cm wide, 80cm deep: fully reclined: 68cm high, 68cm wide, 108cm deep
