Karuselli Lounge Chair & Ottoman, all-black

Yrjö Kukkapuro, 1964

€ 12.656,00

Distinct in style and exceptionally comfortable, the Karuselli Lounge Chair exemplifies designer Yrjö Kukkapuro’s interest in achieving ultimate comfort through a union of function, ergonomics, and organic form. Kukkapuro spent several years sculpting the chair, wrapping himself in chicken wire and making a plaster cast of his body in a lounging posture in order to achieve the perfect dimensions. As soon as the chair’s iconic form was realised in 1964, it became an immediate international success. The chair prompted Gio Ponti to choose Karuselli for the cover of Domus in 1966 and inspired Sir Terence Conran to proclaim it his favourite chair. This special version has a black base and black high-quality leather upholstery. The lounge chair comes with a matching ottoman. Limited availability.
