The Big Easy chair was originally designed as a steel chair in 1989 as a one off. Due to its popularity it was produced in a first series of glossy lacquered hard polyethylene in 1991 (as this one is) and later in a more soft foam version. The glossy white lacquered finish chair was a premium edition produced by Moroso in the early 2000s.
While the standard polyethylene Big Easy is "mass-dyed" (the color is part of the plastic itself and has a matte look), the lacquered version is a distinct, more high-end product:
This chair has Arad's and Moroso's name embossed to thye verso and the date stamp from September 2000, which places it exactly in the period when Moroso was expanding the "Spring Collection" to include these more sculptural, light-reflective finishes.
The chair is in good condition and is ready to grace your space!
