Offered is a sculptural pair of cantilever lounge chairs based on the 1927 Constructivist design by Russian avant-garde artist Vladimir Tatlin, produced by Gordon International in 1987 and accompanied by the original manufacturer tear sheet.
Each chair features a continuous polished tubular chrome frame forming both the circular sled base and integrated wraparound arm/back rail, supporting a saddle-shaped leather sling seat. The dynamic looping structure exemplifies early Constructivist experimentation with industrial materials and spatial geometry.
Gordon International’s late-20th-century authorized production faithfully interprets Tatlin’s original 1927 concept and represents one of the more desirable documented posthumous editions of this important avant-garde design.
A compelling addition to interiors focused on:
-Constructivist design
-Bauhaus and early Modernism
-Collectible tubular steel furniture
-Museum-influenced decorative arts collections
Includes original 1987 manufacturer tear sheet confirming attribution. Part of a documented late-1980s architecturally scaled interior collection acquired together between 1987 - 1993. Seller open to consideration for combined purchase with other listed pieces from the same collection.

Original dark brown leather upholstery remains supple and well-preserved, showing light, even wear along the seams typical of authentic early saddle-style seating surfaces from this period. Chrome frames are bright and clean with only minor surface wear consistent with normal use and no structural issues. Overall, a very strong presentation with desirable original materials intact. less
