Iconic vintage 1980s Italian swivel desk chair, manufactured by Bieffeplast in Padova, Italy. This exceptional postmodern studio piece perfectly embodies the bold geometric and colorful design language popularized by Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis Group movement during the late 20th century.
The chair is masterfully constructed with a vibrant yellow lacquered tubular metal frame, beautifully paired with a round black padded seat cushion for enhanced comfort. Its absolute standout feature is the unique split backrest ("schienale sdoppiato"), meticulously engineered with two kinetic cylindrical rollers wrapped in industrial black ribbed rubber.
Often associated by collectors with the studio furniture productions of Anna Anselmi and the sharp industrial aesthetic of Rodney Kinsman for Bieffeplast, this model is equipped with a smooth 360-degree swiveling action and a fully operative hydraulic gas-lift mechanism for precise height adjustment. The structure stands on a solid 5-star rolling base with original casters. A highly functional art statement piece, ideal for an upscale modern home office, an eclectic workspace, or a curated postmodern interior project.
Dimensions (Approximate):
- Max Height: 31.89 in (81 cm) / Min Height: 26.77 in (68 cm)
- Max Seat Height: 22.83 in (58 cm) / Min Seat Height: 17.72 in (45 cm)
- Base Diameter / Width: 22.05 in (56 cm)
Condition :
Very good original vintage condition. The yellow lacquered metal structure, black padded cushion, and rubber split backrest show only light wear consistent with age and gentle domestic use. The swivel and gas-lift mechanisms operate smoothly and function perfectly. Ready to style. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
