Description from the seller
Paola Lenti — Francesco Rota — Pair of Float B27H Lounge Chairs in Deep Blue
Designed in the 2000s — 21st-Century Production
A pair of sculptural lounge chairs combining soft volumes with Paola Lenti’s exploration of textiles. Designed by Francesco Rota, Float expresses comfort through generous proportions and an essential form, conceived to accommodate the body in a relaxed, informal position.
The profile flows seamlessly from the broad seat into the inclined backrest. The absence of visible supports and the direct contact with the floor emphasise the compact volume, while the perimeter piping precisely defines its outline.
The deep blue upholstery gives the pair an understated elegance. Its textured weave catches the light, revealing subtle shades that accentuate the chairs’ curves; exposed stitching follows the textile construction and enhances its character.
The microbead filling, enclosed within an inner fabric cover, contributes to the soft, adaptable nature of the seats. The outer upholstery is removable, with access from underneath.
Presented as a pair, the Float chairs create a distinctive lounge setting, suited to a contemporary living room, a veranda or elegant outdoor spaces: terraces, poolside relaxation areas and lounge spaces aboard luxury yachts. The deep blue complements natural wood, stone and teak decking, evoking Mediterranean elegance.
An appealing ensemble for enthusiasts of Italian design, architects and interior designers, combining visual presence with an informal approach to relaxation.
