Description
Rare pair of Italian mid‑century lounge chairs by Otto Gerdau (with label). The vintage 1950s chairs have been updated with new premium black leather upholstery. The iconic Scandinavian inspired solid wood frames are elevated with Italian flare. The profile view showcases the gracefully bowed back legs. The leg form is not only aesthetic, leg pitch is perfect for lounging. Updated where needed (new leather), preserved where possible… the chairs feature their original coiled webbing bands. This critical aspect of their construction keeps them true and authentic.
The restoration respects the integrity of the original design while elevating the chairs to a gallery‑ready standard. The new leather upholstery introduces a rich, modern refinement, contrasting beautifully with the warm wood structure.
These chairs embody the quiet confidence of Italian mid‑century design: sculptural yet understated, luxurious yet functional. Ideal for collectors, architects, and interior designers seeking distinctive seating with provenance and presence.
28″ Wide x 33.5″ Deep x 26.5″ High (16″ Seat Height)
Condition: New black leather upholstery. The chairs feature their original coil band seat supports. The wood chair frames are original and have some light cosmetic wear including scratches and nicks on the arms, legs, and top of the back rest.
