Tito Agnoli bamboo & rattan chaise longue for Pierantonio Bonacina, Italy, 1960s
-
Description
A chaise longue in wicker and rattan, designed by Tito Agnoli, produced by Pierantonio Bonacina in the 1960s
The distinctive feature of this relaxing seat lies in the remarkable plasticity of the natural material used, which perfectly accommodates the human ergonomics. The curved structure leverages the elastic qualities of rattan, offering optimal comfort with a comfortable seat, ample backrest, and leg support.
First presented by Tito Agnoli at the second Wicker Exhibition in the mid-1950s, this chaise longue is a true expression of his talent as an Italian designer, renowned for his preference for simplicity and the clear functionality of his designs, spanning from seating to lighting.
Agnoli's uniqueness lies in elevating natural materials, previously relegated to outdoor furnishings, into protagonists of interior spaces, including residential and urban environments. The featured relax armchair follows this philosophy, seamlessly incorporating wicker and rattan into indoor settings with style and sophistication.
Despite Agnoli's desire to bring the wild nature indoors, this apparent contradiction dissolves in the awareness that design can transform a mere consumer item into something more, establishing a dialogue with humans in any context. The relax armchair is offered in excellent condition, preserving all its original components.
The dimensions are 81x155x65 cm. -
