Italian "Malu" Nubuck Leather Modular Lounge Chair by Claudio Vagnoni & Emilio Guarnacci, 1970s
A Malu modular lounge chair designed by Claudio Vagnoni and Emilio Guarnacci in the 1970s. Produced by Industria Chimica per l'Arredamento, the design is defined by its low, generous proportions and distinctive ruched upholstery.
The chair features a molded black acrylic shell upholstered in its original beige nubuck leather. Deep gathers across the backrest, seat, and arms create a soft, relaxed appearance that contrasts with the crisp architectural lines of the acrylic base. Raised slightly above the floor on integrated black acrylic feet, the design reflects the experimentation with new materials and informal seating that characterized Italian furniture design during the 1970s.
Original "Industria Chimica per l'Arredamento – Modello Malu" label present to the shell.
