Munari Lounge Chair

Rare Pair of Sculptural Leather Lounge Chairs by Giuseppe Munari for Poltrona Munari, Italy, 1970s — Exceptional pair of oversized Italian lounge chairs by Giuseppe Munari for Poltrona Munari, newly upholstered in luxurious black leather. This striking pair of lounge chairs was designed by Giuseppe Munari for Poltrona Munari in Italy during the 1970s. With their exceptionally generous proportions, low-slung silhouette and voluptuous upholstered volumes, the chairs are a powerful expression of Italian design from the period. The design is particularly distinguished by the contrast between the soft, almost floating cushions and the exposed chromed steel structure. The generously padded seat, backrest and armrests wrap around the sitter, while carefully positioned leather details embrace the visible metal frame. From every angle, the construction becomes part of the aesthetic, giving the chairs an unusually sculptural and architectural presence. Both chairs have recently been professionally reupholstered in beautiful, thick high-quality black leather. The leather was carefully selected for its rich natural grain and supple character, perfectly complementing the generous volumes of the design. Their impressive proportions and unmistakable silhouette make these chairs particularly suitable as statement pieces in a contemporary interior, while their deep comfort makes them equally compelling as functional lounge seating. Offered as a matching pair.
