Piumino chairs De Pas, D’urbino and Lomazzi Italy 1970

The Piumino lounge chair, designed by the renowned trio Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi and expertly crafted by Dall’Oca in Italy in 1970, is an exemplary piece that effortlessly blends playful design with timeless elegance. As a product of these visionary designers, the Piumino chair captures the essence of 1970s Italian design, known for its bold experimentation with form, material, and comfort. One of the standout features of the Piumino lounge chair is its luxurious cognac leather upholstery, which exudes sophistication while offering a soft, inviting surface. Over the years, the leather has developed a beautiful, natural patina, giving it a distinct character that speaks to its age and history. The patina enhances the chair’s warmth, making it not just a functional piece but a work of art that evolves over time, growing richer with use.

The wrinkled stitching pattern adds an extra layer of visual interest, imbuing the chair with texture and dimension. This design feature cleverly evokes the image of a cozy blanket casually draped over the chair, a touch that not only enhances its visual appeal but also its sense of comfort. Despite its vintage allure, the Piumino lounge chair remains in remarkable condition, with no signs of wear like cracks or tears in the leather, underscoring its superior craftsmanship. The quality of materials used and the attention to detail in its construction ensure that it remains as functional and comfortable today as it was when it was first made. It is a chair designed for everyday use but built to last a lifetime.

The Piumino chair is not only visually striking but also incredibly comfortable, designed to cradle the body in a relaxed position. Its plush padding and enveloping shape invite you to sink in and unwind, making it the perfect choice for a living room, study, or lounge area. While this listing is for the lounge chairs alone, it can be paired with the matching Piumino sofa, sold separately here, to create a cohesive and stylish seating arrangement. Together, they form a stunning ensemble that would elevate any interior space, combining Italian design heritage with modern comfort. The chairs are priced and sold in a set of 2.

The leather is reconditioned with a leather care product special for vintage leather. To give the leather some strength, color, and protection again after many years of usage.

Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi were an influential Italian design trio known for their playful and innovative approach to furniture and product design. Active from the 1960s, they challenged traditional design conventions by incorporating humor, pop culture, and experimental materials like plastic and polyurethane. Their iconic works, such as the Blow Chair (1967) and the Joe Sofa (1970), became symbols of postmodern design. Collaborating with leading manufacturers, they redefined the boundaries between art and functionality, creating pieces that are both practical and whimsical.
