One of the most iconic lounge designs of the era, the Alky chair is celebrated for its playful low profile, fluid silhouette and groundbreaking use of soft sculptural forms.

Freshly reupholstered in an extraordinary high-end textile designed by Dieter Van Der Velpen, the chairs acquire an even more expressive and luxurious presence. The fabric features a deep tactile texture with subtle variations and a velvety appearance, beautifully accentuating the rounded organic lines of the design.

The continuous flowing shape, without visible hard transitions between seat, back and base, creates an inviting cocoon-like form that feels both futuristic and incredibly comfortable. Their compact proportions and soft curves give the chairs a strong visual identity while remaining warm and approachable within an interior.

The dark earthy tones of the upholstery combined with the sculptural silhouette create a bold yet sophisticated statement piece, perfectly balancing 1970s space age aesthetics with contemporary refinement.

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional pair of iconic Artifort lounge chairs in a unique contemporary upholstery of outstanding quality.
