The bikini chair by vitra features a chrome-plated wire frame and original red leather seat and back cushions. Its distinctive shape arises from the captivating combination of a delicate wire shell and softly upholstered leather elements that appear to float on the metal grid. The precisely crafted base, reminiscent of the eiffel tower, lends the chairs remarkable stability despite their light appearance and underscores the technically elegant character of the design. The vibrant red leather provides a striking accent and creates a compelling contrast to the cool chrome plating of the frame, typical of design-oriented seating from the 1980s.
the bikini chair was designed by jorge pensi, one of the defining designers of spanish modernism, known for his clean lines, ergonomic concepts, and the fusion of technology and sensuality. The bikini is considered an iconic design of its time and exemplifies the experimental use of wire structures and upholstery that became increasingly prevalent in the 1980s. The chair was produced by vitra, where it was offered in various materials and colors.
condition: good used condition with only minor signs of age-related wear. The red leather has a beautiful, even patina with slight creases and minor pressure marks, but no tears. The chrome frames show some minor signs of wear; overall, it is in well-maintained and authentic original condition. The construction is stable and fully functional.
