Genni Chaise Lounge Chair

Gabriele Mucchi for Zanotta

Sale price$5,630.00

In 1982, Zanotta reintroduced the Genni lounge chair, a creation by Gabriele Mucchi from 1935, showcasing its enduring charm and unexpectedly modern appeal.

The chair's design, featuring a curved, chromium-plated steel tube, epitomizes the design ethos of the rationalist architecture movement. This material choice reflects the early explorations and innovations in modern furniture design that emerged at the dawn of the previous century. The incline of the backrest can be adjusted in two different positions.
