A standout piece of Italian Radical Design, the Fiocco Chair was designed in 1970 by Gianni Pareschi for Busnelli, and remains one of the most sculptural and innovative lounge chairs of its era.
This authentic example, made in Italy and retaining its original Busnelli label, is upholstered in the original high-stretch technical fabric — a smooth, glossy polyamide-elastane blend (similar to Lycra). Developed specifically for this chair in the early 1970s, this textile was chosen for its exceptional elasticity and ability to follow the chair’s dramatic contours without wrinkles or distortion. It enhances the fluid, ribbon-like form of the chair while giving it a distinctly futuristic presence.
The Fiocco Chair is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Its daring shape and material experimentation place it at the heart of the Radical Design movement, and make it a highly sought-after collector’s item today.
