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

Iconic Italian Space Age lounge chairs

Designed by Fabio Lenci for Standing in the 1970s, the “Hyaline” chairs are an enduring example of Italian Space Age design. With their bold sculptural form, they combine terracotta leather cylindrical rolls suspended within two thick tempered glass panels, creating the illusion of floating seating. Radical yet functional, they embody the visionary approach of Italian design during the period.

Floating terracotta leather rolls

The terracotta-toned leather rolls are anchored at the lower edge while adjustable along the upper glass panel, allowing the seating position to be adapted. The contrast between the warm terracotta leather and the transparent glass sides enhances their futuristic silhouette, while polished metal fittings and discreet floor protectors complete the refined construction.

Fabio Lenci’s radical vision

Fabio Lenci (b. 1935) was a leading figure of Italian Space Age furniture, renowned for his daring experiments with glass, leather, and modular design. His Hyaline chairs for Standing remain among his most recognisable and collectible works, valued by design enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
