A Ninfea (or Pieghevole Ninfea) folding lounge chair with a structure in the wood, seat, and back in woven white fabric and brass hinges.
The Ninfea chair was designed by Gio Ponti during the progettation of the iconic Superleggera chair and manufactured since 1958 by Brevetti F.lli Reguitti an Italian historical company very productive between the 1940s and late 1960s.
These chairs were originally produced by Brevetti Reguitti in three different upholstery styles: woven wicker, leather, and fabric.
This design is documented by the Gio Ponti archive in Milan and it was published in the Italian publication "Novita" in May 1958 where it also declares the designer as Gio Ponti.
