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

Iconic Italian Space Age lounge chairs

Designed by Fabio Lenci for Standing in the 1970s, the “Hyaline” chairs embody the most radical expressions of Italian Space Age furniture design. These rare lounge chairs are constructed from cylindrical yellow leather rollssuspended between two thick tempered glass panels, giving the impression that the seat floats in mid-air. Their sculptural form and innovative use of materials make them collectible design icons.

Floating leather rolls and functional design

The yellow leather rolls are fixed at the lower edge and adjustable at the top, sliding along the glass frame to customise the reclining angle. This unique mechanism creates an adaptable yet elegant seating solution. The bold contrast between the bright yellow leather upholstery and the transparent glass panels enhances the futuristic aesthetic, while metal fittings and protective feet complete the structure with durability and refinement.
