1950s Carlo de Carli Lounge Chair in Burgundy Red Fabric with Nickel Feet

Carlo de Carli for Cassina, lounge chair, model 802, leatherette, nickel-plated metal, Italy, 1954

Carlo De Carli, a prominent Italian architect and designer, designed this elegant chair that dates back to the 1950s. The chair features a sleek, streamlined silhouette that exemplifies the modernist ethos of simplicity and purity of form. Its clean lines and absence of decorative elements highlight De Carli's commitment to functional beauty. The slightly angled backrest and gently sloping armrests are designed to provide ergonomic comfort, showing De Carli's attention to the user's experience. The tapered legs are slender yet sturdy, finished in nickel-plated metal. The deep color of the red burgundy leatherette emphasizes the chair's sophisticated appearance.

Carlo De Carli was born in 1910 in Milan and became an important architect and designer in the 1940s and 1950s working with Gio Ponti (1891-1979). He became a keen exponent of Italian furniture bringing it to the international market.
