Antro­pus Lounge Chair

The Antro­pus lounge chair lends itself to creat­ing an over­sized and comfort­able seat and back-rest that fit snugly into the slender, curving profile of the side panels. This is accom­plished through the use of polyurethane foam CFC free. Archi­tect Marco Zanuso worked with Arflex in the late 1940s when he was commis­sioned to design the set of Thorn­ton Wilder’s play The Skin of Our Teeth, which was dubbed ​“La Famiglia Antro­pus” in Italian. These first versions of the lounge chair were created in fully uphol­stered in foam rubber; at the time, this mate­r­ial was consid­ered highly inno­v­a­tive and was being promoted for use in domes­tic furni­ture-making for its expres­sive, and indus­trial ergonomic poten­tial. We are proud to offer Antro­pus in the orig­i­nal iconic red fabric upholstery.
