Fabio Lenci Brown Leather “Hyaline” Chairs for Standing, Italy

Italian space age lounge chairs by Fabio Lenci

This rare pair of “Hyaline” chairs designed by Fabio Lenci for Standing in the 1970s represents the pinnacle of Italian Space Age design. Constructed from cylindrical brown leather rolls suspended between thick glass panels, the chairs combine avant-garde experimentation with luxurious craftsmanship. Their striking silhouette blurs the line between functional furniture and sculptural art.

Sculptural form and adjustable seating

The brown leather rolls are fixed at the base while remaining adjustable at the top, sliding along the glass edge to alter the seating position. This flexible arrangement offers both comfort and versatility, while the transparent glass sidescreate a floating effect that enhances their futuristic presence. Every detail, from the metal fittings to the tempered glass base, demonstrates Lenci’s uncompromising design philosophy.
