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

Italian space age lounge chairs by Fabio Lenci

The “Hyaline” chairs, designed by Fabio Lenci for Standing in the 1970s, are a striking example of Italian Space Age radical design. These rare chairs are built from cylindrical tan leather rolls suspended between two thick tempered glass panels, producing a light and floating silhouette that fuses comfort with sculptural modernism.

Adjustable seating and sculptural form

The tan leather rolls are anchored at the lower edge but remain adjustable at the top, sliding along the glass frame to adapt the seating angle. This unique mechanism creates both flexibility and ergonomics while preserving the chair’s iconic floating effect. The transparent glass panels contrast dramatically with the warm tan leather, adding to their bold futuristic appeal.

Fabio Lenci and radical Italian furniture

Fabio Lenci (b. 1935) is celebrated as a visionary of Italian postwar design, pioneering the use of glass, leather, and modular forms. His collaboration with Standing produced some of the most collectible Space Age furniture of the 1970s. The Hyaline chairs stand as icons of this period, embodying both experimentation and refined craftsmanship.
