Italian Bamboo Lounge Chairs with Upholstered Cushions, Italy, 1970s

About the Item

The 1970s were a boom time in Italy, a decade of mass production and innovation when designers made huge quantities of furniture and sold it through department stores. As a result, exceptional pieces from the 1970s are in short supply. Most are still in Italy, with exceptions like these bamboo lounge chairs. With their fresh colours and shiny surfaces, pieces from the 1970s are very appealing and photogenic. During the 20th century, bamboo enjoyed a few resurgences of popularity as it has always conjured up feelings of travel and pleasure. These lounge chairs are all that and more: they showcase a precision that was unachievable by methods of mass production, therefore there is the charm and quality that handcrafted pieces possess. This is most apparent in the arms with a dynamic, flowing curve. Each of the seven pieces stems from the same spot at the top, gradually increasing in size to form the armrests. The backs are also formed from individual pieces of bamboo, bent at their “hip” to create the reclined position of the backs. To enhance the sense of relaxed lounging, the chairs sit very low with two cushions comprising the seats. The upper seat and back cushions are upholstered in a floral, patterned fabric that further add to the cosy impression. Bamboo’s ability to be both delicate and ornate, as well as bohemian and relaxed means that it fits into a host of different types of interiors. Italian furniture managed to preserve the uniqueness of handmade pieces well into the 20th century. Bamboo has a place in almost every setting, traditional or modern, as it is a grounding force that makes everything feel a bit more at ease. It was a popular choice for casual '70s décor. While it usually looks great in more natural and earthy interiors, even the most modern rooms can incorporate pieces such as these lounge chairs. Condition: In good vintage condition. The chair cushions were upholstered later, and the fabric has very light colour bleeding because of previous washing. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
