Giampiero Vitelli Sierra chairs Rossi Albizzate Italy 1955

This remarkable pair of ‘Sierra’ lounge chairs, designed by Giampiero Vitelli and produced by Rossi d’Albizzate in 1955, exemplifies the fusion of sculptural artistry and functional design. Featuring a beautifully crafted tubular steel frame, the chairs are a testament to Vitelli’s innovative vision. The frames, formed with a series of elegant curves and angles, provide both strength and an eye-catching aesthetic, making these chairs a standout in any space.

The design’s uniqueness lies in its structure—an architectural masterpiece unlike anything else. The original appeal is complemented by luxurious comfort, thanks to cushions on all sides that offer both support and relaxation. The cushions have been newly upholstered in a sophisticated white and black bouclé fabric, chosen for its close resemblance to the original material and its timeless elegance.

While the frames remain in original condition, with minor paint loss and fading that adds a rich patina and character, they can be refinished upon request. These details speak to the chairs’ history and authenticity, enhancing their vintage charm. Priced and sold as a set of two, these ‘Sierra’ lounge chairs are more than furniture—they are timeless works of design, perfect for collectors and those seeking a statement piece for their interior.
