Italian Lounge Chair by Saporiti Italia, 1970s - 2 Available

$4,600.00

An Italian lounge chair by Saporiti Italia from the 1970s, defined by its generous proportions, low profile, and relaxed, inviting form.

The chair features a broad, upholstered backrest with a gently curved upper edge, paired with a deep seat cushion and substantial arms that slope inward for added comfort. Upholstered in a cream-colored fabric with a navy blue plaid pattern, the intersecting lines introduce a geometric rhythm that contrasts with the softness of the chair's silhouette. The upholstered body rests on a low, exposed wood platform with rounded corners, supported by short black cylindrical feet.

Founded by Sergio Saporiti in 1950 near Milan, Saporiti Italia became known for its innovative approach to furniture design, combining comfort, modern forms, and experimentation with materials. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the company developed seating distinguished by generous proportions and an emphasis on relaxed living.

Well suited for a living room, reading corner, or private study, the chair offers a comfortable place to settle in. Its compact, grounded form works equally well as a standalone lounge chair or paired with a second chair to create an intimate seating arrangement.

Sold and priced individually.
