Set of 4 Gae Aulenti Leather and Steel Lounge Chairs for Knoll, Signed 1980
An incredible collectors set of four (4) signed Gae Aulenti for Knoll International lounge chairs, signed and date stamped October 6 1980, the same great year that brought us The Blues Brothers, Friday the 13th, Caddyshack, Airplane! and The Empire Strikes Back.
*Priced as a set of four, contact us if you wish to purchase a pair.
This set of four lounge armchairs are constructed of black lacquered steel frames with cognac brown leather cushions. Deep and wide seats provide incredible comfort, these are very loungey club chairs with on-trend 70s/80s style. And this particular set is ideal for collectors as it has its original leather cushions and paint color in a desirable color-way and beautiful condition with light patina as collectors love to see, and its a signed and dated set with all original labels from an earlier year of production,
In recent years Gae (pronounced "Guy") Aulenti's designs have soared in demand as interior designers are now recognizing her works as some of the best of the 20th century. Get this set while they are still priced low, we predict a steep increase in value over the years to come, especially on early production year (original) signed examples with original color frames and original leather - such as this set.
Heavy and sizable, this set of high-quality armchairs are extremely comfortable and great for people with small to extra large frames, the deep seated design allows for great flexibility for commercial projects.
This set of leather and steel club chairs by Gaetana Aulenti would work great in a Postmodern, Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a traditional, transitional, classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
