Luigi Caccia Dominioni lounge chair Azucena Italy 1962

This exceptionally rare lounge chair, designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni and manufactured by Azucena in Italy in 1962, is a testament to the ingenuity and elegance of mid-century modern design. With only a handful of these chairs known to have been produced, it stands as a highly coveted piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. The lounge chair is generously proportioned and designed for ultimate comfort, embodying Dominioni’s signature style of blending functionality with aesthetic sophistication. One of its most distinctive features is the oval handle located at the back of the chair, which allows the chair to be easily lifted and moved. This practical element is complemented by the chair’s innovative design: front wheels for mobility paired with sturdy wooden legs at the back, a combination that is as striking as it is functional.

The chair’s robust and curvaceous form invites relaxation, with its recently reupholstered seat in premium olive green leather that closely mirrors the original upholstery. This choice of material not only enhances the chair’s luxurious feel but also maintains its historical authenticity. The olive green leather adds a rich, earthy tone to the piece, emphasizing its mid-century roots while ensuring modern durability and comfort. The wooden back legs are meticulously crafted, adding a refined detail that contrasts beautifully with the leather upholstery and metal wheels. These elements together create a harmonious blend of textures and materials, showcasing Dominioni’s masterful attention to detail.

Adding to the chair’s allure is its original footstool, designed for supreme comfort and also equipped with wheels for easy maneuverability. This feature ensures that the lounge chair is not only a visual centerpiece but also an incredibly practical piece of furniture. Having been reupholstered, the lounge chair is in excellent condition, preserving its historical significance while offering modern comfort. This chair is not only an aesthetically captivating piece but also a testament to thoughtful design and superior craftsmanship, making it a true collector’s item.
