Fron­zoni ​’64 Lounge Chair

The Fron­zoni ​’64 lounge chair that features a recti­lin­ear frame in squared tubular steel – discreet, under­side slats support a thin profile seat cushion expanse in polyurethane foam with two recti­lin­ear squared bolsters that func­tion as back­rest cush­ions. All uphol­stery covers are remov­able. The Fron­zoni ​’64 lounge chair is avail­able with a choice or black or white matte lacquer frame as well as black or white uphol­stery in a choice of leather or synthetic leather as well as a select cotton fabric.

Fronzoni’s work was deeply influ­enced by both Mies van der Rohe’s and Marcel Breuer’s philoso­phies of synthe­sis and subtrac­tion and is evident in his mini­mal­ist ​’64 Collec­tion designed in 1964 for Cappellini that included a coffee table, dining tables of various sizes, a dining chair, a lounge chair, and even beds of varying sizes. Fron­zoni used squared tubular steel to render recti­lin­ear shapes that func­tion as the outlines of his furni­ture, defin­ing planes of space. These slim profile outlines create an exquis­ite geomet­ri­cal expres­sion and levity within the forms – their respec­tive support struc­tures allow the viewer to liter­ally see through them. Exam­ples of the Fron­zoni ​’64 collec­tion are included in the perma­nent collec­tions of numer­ous museums worldwide.
