About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Exceptional European Space Age swivel lounge chair from the 1960s, defined by its sculptural upholstered shell and distinctive aluminium tulip base. The organically shaped shell combines a high, rounded backrest with sweeping armrests, creating a striking silhouette characteristic of progressive European furniture design of the 1960s. A particularly unusual feature is its automatic self-return swivel mechanism. The chair rotates freely and automatically returns to its original position after use. The chair was reupholstered a few years ago in a new furniture fabric. Its textured, mottled grey weave complements the sculptural shape particularly well and creates a beautiful contrast with the aluminium pedestal. The fabric remains in very good condition, while the upholstery is firm and retains its shape. The aluminium base shows authentic age-related signs of use. Provenance: Private residence in a period apartment in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Germany. A virtually identical pair featuring matching dimensions and the same unusual automatic self-return mechanism is currently offered by a professional French antiques dealer for €2,600 per pair.
