An iconic expression of late 1960s Italian design, this rare pair of model 922 lounge chairs by Carlo de Carli for Cinova embodies the refined sensibility and bold experimentation that defined the era. Merging sculptural form with impeccable craftsmanship, these chairs are a standout addition to any discerning collection.
The polished chrome frames, sleek and minimal, serve as a refined counterbalance to the generous, organically shaped cushions. This interplay between structural clarity and voluminous softness gives the chairs their unmistakable character, at once modernist and deeply inviting.
Upholstered in beautifully aged cognac leather, the tufted cushions showcase a rich patina that has developed gracefully over time. The leather’s warm, burnished tones and supple texture speak to decades of careful use, offering a depth of material presence that only vintage pieces can deliver.
Every curve of the frame is purposefully designed to echo and support the flowing contours of the cushions, creating a seamless visual rhythm and an unexpectedly plush seating experience. These chairs are not only sculptural showpieces but also supremely comfortable, with firm, resilient cushioning that retains its original form.
In very good vintage condition, this pair represents a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Italian design history. The chairs are priced and sold in a set of 2. For those looking to complete the ensemble, a matching two-seater sofa is available in a separate listing, shown in the final photographs and available here.
