Plexiglass Desk + Chair by Fabio Lenci for Formes Nouvelles, Italy 1970s
This rare 1970s desk and matching chair by Italian designer Fabio Lenci for Formes Nouvelles embodies the forward-thinking ethos of the era. The soft lavender hued plexiglass surfaces and sinuous chrome frames create a sense of lightness and fluidity, a nod to Lenci’s innovative approach to balancing materials and space.
During the 1970s, Formes Nouvelles, a Paris-based design company known for its avant-garde approach, sought to push the boundaries of contemporary furniture design by working with visionary designers like Fabio Lenci. Lenci, already recognized for his futuristic designs, was the perfect partner for Formes Nouvelles.
His work during this period was characterized by the use of unconventional materials such as lucite and chrome, which became signature elements in their collaborative pieces. The designs produced from this partnership were marked by their sleek, transparent forms and minimalist aesthetic, embodying the essence of modernity and forward-thinking design.
