egg chair in chromed metal, created by italian designer gastone rinaldi, a key figure in italian design of the 1960s and 70s. This iconic model perfectly illustrates rinaldi's approach, renowned for his experimental work with wire and tubular steel structures, blending visual lightness, sculptural lines, and comfortable use.

the openwork seat, made of chromed metal wire, creates an enveloping and organic shape reminiscent of the iconic egg chair silhouette. The transparency of the structure visually lightens the chair while asserting a strong graphic presence. The sled base in chromed tubular steel, with its continuous and balanced curves, reinforces the modernist aesthetic and ensures excellent stability.

this chair is representative of vintage italian design from the second half of the 20th century, a period during which metal became a central material in contemporary furniture. The interplay of lines, voids, and reflections lends this piece an almost architectural dimension, both elegant and timeless.

ideal for a living room, office, bedroom, or professional space, this armchair can be used as a seat or as a true centerpiece. It integrates seamlessly into mid-century, modernist, contemporary, or industrial décor.

a distinctive piece, sought after for its iconic design, italian aesthetic, and the signature of gastone rinaldi. Perfect for lovers of vintage designer armchairs, italian furniture from the 1960s and 70s, chrome metal, and modernist design.
