First edition Marco Zanuso Maggiolia lounge chairs for Zanotta, Italy, c1950

1st edition Maggiolina chairs by Zanotta designed by Marco Zanuso, the 1950s. The black cowhide sling supports one large newly upholstered brown leather cushion with a goose feather filling. A stainless steel frame supports this very comfortable and sleek lounge chair. The difference between a 1st edition and a later edition is that the armrests are made of plastic instead of the newer leather ones.

The Maggiolina chair was originally designed for a competition held by the MoMa in New York and it has remained an icon of twentieth-century design ever since.

Condition:

In very good vintage condition because of the new leather. The frame has signs of use.
