AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An iconic design 'HIGH JOKER' lounge chair, designed in 1964 by the French designer Olivier Mourgue for Airborn International.
It concerns the version with the high backrest.

SITTING: The foam rubber of the seat cushion has degraded over the years and needs to be replaced, which can be done via the zipper in the seat cushion.

FRAME: The chrome-plated flat steel frame still shines beautifully after all these years; at two spots on the corners of the legs the chrome is damaged (see detail photos).

LEATHER: The black leather has a wonderful characterful vintage patina.

DIMENSIONS: Height 98 cm, width 80 cm, depth 75 cm.

The lounge chair must be collected.
