Augusto Bozzi’s collaboration with Saporiti Italia in the 1950s and 1960s marked a significant period in Italian mid-century design, combining Bozzi's sculptural aesthetic with Saporiti’s dedication to innovation and high-quality craftsmanship. Bozzi’s designs for Saporiti, such as his signature lounge chairs, are celebrated for their striking yet minimalist forms, characterized by dynamic, curved lines and slender, often black-lacquered metal frames.
One of Bozzi's most iconic pieces from this collaboration is the "Kosmos" chair, which exemplifies his approach: sculpted to cradle the body while resting lightly on metal frames, creating an almost floating appearance. This chair, and others like it, represented a departure from the bulkier furniture styles of the time, instead focusing on lightness and ergonomic comfort.
Excellent vintage condition. These chairs have been carefully reupholstered by our team of restorationists in Holly Hunt's sumptuous Cloud Nine Velvet in Amber with new foam. Light scuffs along the metal frames.
