About the Item

Pair of Sculptural Lounge Chairs by Luigi Colani, 1960s – Hermès Metaphores Silk Upholstery Exceptional and rare pair of lounge chairs designed by Luigi Colani in the 1960s, embodying the designer’s visionary approach to organic and aerodynamic forms. These pieces stand out for their fluid, biomorphic silhouettes, where structure and comfort merge seamlessly into a single sculptural gesture. The continuous lines, almost carved in motion, reflect Colani’s obsession with nature-inspired design and human-centered ergonomics. Recently reupholstered in a refined Hermès Metaphores silk fabric, the chairs gain a new dimension—elevating their presence from iconic design to collectible statement pieces. The subtle pattern enhances the curves and volumes, creating a sophisticated dialogue between material and form. Both highly decorative and deeply comfortable, these chairs function as centerpieces within an interior, equally suited for contemporary, collectible or curated spaces. Rare to find as a pair.
