Gianfranco Frattini chairs (attributed), pair of sculptural Modernist vintage armchairs, 1950`s Italy. These Gianfranco Frattini lounge chairs have burgundy buttoned vinyl upholstery set on black toned steel legs. The 1950`s organic lines,
Modernist geometric legs,
high back, deep seat and button upholstery, all create a `light` lounge feeling and make these vintage armchairs very comfortable. Both armchairs have the original vintage quality burgundy grained vinyl upholstery. The strong metal frames have the legs finished with brass pods screwed to each leg, and can be lowered or heightened to adjust the balance. The upholstery for both armchairs is in good vintage condition, with only minor scuff marks and wear in line with age. There is some antique patina on the legs which adds character. The two armchairs sell together and the price quoted here is for the pair.
The seat height is 35 cm.
