Description from the seller

2 Design Armchairs DAUPHIN “BOBO” – Dietmar Scharping – Leather – Postmodern Design – 1990s

For sale is an exceptional pair of design armchairs by renowned German manufacturer DAUPHIN, model “BOBO,” designed by Dietmar Scharping.

The two armchairs are striking examples of postmodern furniture design from the 1990s, notable for their extravagant, sculptural forms, unusual construction, and compelling contrast of materials.

A particularly distinctive feature is the striking, curved backrest made of molded laminated wood, with its beautifully visible grain\. It also forms the load-bearing rear frame and gives the armchairs their unmistakable silhouette\.

In appealing contrast are the voluminous, softly rounded seat bodies, upholstered in high-quality black leather.

The seat, which extends far forward, appears almost to float and is supported by small, elegantly shaped, silver-colored metal feet.

Distinctive design features:

- Original DAUPHIN “BOBO” – designed by Dietmar Scharping
- Extravagant postmodern design from the 1990s
- High-quality black leather upholstery
- Sculptural, organically curved lines
- Elegantly curved backrest made of molded laminated wood
- Striking mix of materials: black leather, natural-colored wood, and silver-colored metal
- Unusual, almost floating seat construction
- Distinctive, flared back with a characteristic tapered shape
- Original DAUPHIN manufacturer labels present

The two armchairs are not only comfortable seating but also expressive design objects with a highly recognizable look.

Ideal as an exceptional pair of armchairs in a living room, as lounge or cocktail chairs, for a stylish office or reception area, or as distinctive accent pieces in a modern interior.
