pair black leather "Bastiano" lounge chairs

The Italian Compasso d’Oro award winning husband & wife team of Tobia and Afra Scarpa created multi-disciplinary designs in architecture, furniture, lighting and industrial design.  Their work with Italian firm Gavina was avant-garde - including the "Bastiano" series starting in 1962.  Low, deep and exceptionally comfortable.  Square hardwood frames are beautifully stained - supporting sumptuous loose black leather cushions.  This pair likely produced in the 1970s after Gavina was purchased by Knoll.  Italy.  Sold as a pair.
