Description

SOLD The Bastiano Lounge Chair was designed in 1962 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa. The line provided elegance and comfort with its sleek minimalist modern design yet still commanding attention in a room. Here with this lounge chair, the black leather cushions sit on a simple frame of white lacquered wood with a coil support.  Condition is very good with new leather on the cushions.  The creamy white lacquered wood frame has minor scrapes and the wood’s grain shows through in various spots but its not distracting.  This piece, along the sofa also listed, was bought from Knoll in Mexico City in 1973.  Knoll labels are intact.

Measurements:  36 inches wide  x  31 inches deep  x  29 inches high.  Seat at 15 inches high.

We have also listed the companion 3-seater sofa in another listing.

Afra and Tobia Scarpa designed the Bastiano Sofa and Lounge Chair and they were originally produced by La Gavina Spa. in Italy.  Knoll purchased La Gavina Spa. in the late 60s thus taking over production.  Knoll contracted Möbel Internacional in Mexico City to manufacture some of their products in the early 1970s.  In 1976, Grupo Suma acquired Möbel and obtained the license to continue the production.
