Carlo de Carli for Sormani, pair of 'PIPA' lounge chairs, wood, metal and leather, Italy, circa 1963.

A pair of 'PIPA' lounge chairs, designed by the Italian Carlo de Carli in circa 1963. He designed this model as a homage to his Professor Gio Ponti. The armchair consists of a black leather seat and backrest. The curved armrests are made of wood and the top are upholstered with black leather. These slightly point upwards. The black coated legs are slim and form a striking combination with the large seat.

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.
