A striking and highly sculptural set of four French wrought iron garden lounge chairs, dating to circa 1950.

Defined by their remarkable silhouette, these chairs feature an expressive radial composition of curved iron slats, creating an almost enveloping, basket-like form. The most distinctive element lies in the armrests: beautifully constructed from continuous curved bands of iron forming open cylindrical spirals — an unusually playful and architectural detail rarely encountered in traditional garden furniture.

Unlike most utilitarian outdoor seating of the period, the seats are subtly angled backwards, creating a more relaxed, lounge-oriented posture and reinforcing their almost armchair-like presence.

Covered in layers of time, traces of earlier dark green paint remain visible beneath later white coatings, resulting in a wonderfully textured patina acquired through decades of outdoor use. Weathered, imperfect, and full of character — exactly as they should be.

A compelling set that effortlessly sits somewhere between garden furniture, decorative art, and sculptural seating.

Available as a set of four.

An icon of collectible postmodern design.

Designed by Masanori Umeda for Edra in 1990, the Rose chair blurs the line between sculpture and furniture. Inspired by the delicate form of a blooming rose, its voluptuous silhouette and rich deep red upholstery create an unmistakable presence from every angle.

This original pair remains one of the most iconic and expressive seating designs ever produced by Edra.

Set of six ‘Irma’ chairs by Achille Castiglioni for Zanotta, 1979.

Named after Castiglioni’s wife, Irma Barni, these striking dining chairs reflect the designer’s signature balance between architectural clarity, ergonomics and understated elegance.

The model combines black enamelled tubular steel frames with separate moulded saddle leather seat and backrest elements, creating a strong graphic silhouette. The distinctive angular backrest subtly follows the natural posture of the body, balancing comfort with a refined, minimal appearance.

Over time, the warm cognac saddle leather has developed a rich patina, adding depth and character to this increasingly uncommon set of six.

Italian design at its most intelligent and timeless.

Available.

Artifort F588 lounge chair with ottoman by Geoffrey Harcourt, 1967

Iconic F588 lounge chair with matching ottoman, designed by Geoffrey Harcourt for Artifort in the 1960s.

The design is defined by its organic flowing silhouette, deep tufted cushions and elegant tulip swivel base. Harcourt’s iconic approach to lounge seating — soft, cocooning and architectural at the same time — is perfectly reflected in this model.

This set has been reupholstered in a dark charcoal grey wool-blend fabric with a subtle textured appearance, complementing the strong sculptural lines of the chair. The matching ottoman enhances both the comfort and the visual balance of the design.

An exceptional modernist lounge set with a timeless presence.

Mission Sofa by Jack Crebolder for Harvink, The Netherlands, 1980s

Striking and highly architectural ‘Mission’ sofa designed by Jack Crebolder and produced by Harvink in the Netherlands during the 1980s.

Crebolder conceived this sofa not as a conventional wall-bound seating element, but as a freestanding object within an open interior. This intention is clearly reflected in the design: a low, horizontal black lacquered wooden platform extends on both sides, creating integrated surfaces and allowing the piece to be experienced from all angles.

The seating consists of loose black leather cushions, supported at the front by slender chromed metal legs, giving the sofa a floating appearance. The contrast between the solid volume of the base and the lightness of the metal structure enhances its sculptural presence.

The result is a piece that operates at the intersection of furniture and architecture — equally functional as seating and as a spatial element within a room.
