Odile Mir lounge chair Delmas for Prisunic France 1972

Rare “David” lounge chair designed by Odile Mir and produced by Delmas for Prisunic in France, 1972. Beautiful geometric chrome plated tubular frame with on the back corners metal springs to support the sling seat which is a cowhide. Every corner of the frame points upwards. The back is the highest point and also has a metal spring. Typical innovative and minimalistic design from the seventies. The cowhide sling seat has a strong appearance due to the contrast of the white against the brown hide. From each corner this chair is a stunning piece of design, from the architectural structure to the form. This chair was part of the “Filo” collection. Still in really good condition.
