Vintage Pair of “Net W” Lounge Armchairs by Giancarlo Vegni for Fasem, Italy (1999)
A striking and sculptural pair of Net W lounge chairs designed by Giancarlo Vegni for Fasem and manufactured in Italy. Defined by their elegant, continuous silhouette, these chairs feature a beautifully executed hand-woven full-grain leather seat and back—an iconic Fasem signature—set on a refined polished steel/chrome four-leg base.
The woven leather construction creates a graphic, architectural presence while remaining surprisingly comfortable, with a gentle flex that adapts to the body. Minimalist yet highly distinctive, the Net W is a timeless piece of late-20th-century Italian design—equally at home in a modern living space, a gallery-like interior, or a sophisticated office environment.
Both chairs are clearly marked and date-stamped confirming production in 1999.
