Italian Space Age Lucite and Leather Lounge Chair by Marzio Cecchi, 1970s

Sculptural Italian Space Age Lounge Seating

This rare Space Age lounge chair was designed by Marzio Cecchi in the 1970s, showcasing his visionary approach to materials and form. Featuring a transparent lucite frame with sweeping curves and two cylindrical leather cushions, the chair embodies the futuristic experimentation of Italian design in this period.

Futuristic form with lucite and leather contrast

The interplay between the clear lucite structure and the warm tan leather bolsters creates a bold sculptural presence. Its floating, gravity-defying design reflects Cecchi’s avant-garde exploration of transparency, geometry, and material tension, making it both functional seating and a work of art.

Marzio Cecchi’s design legacy

Born in Florence in 1940, Marzio Cecchi trained as an architect and became known for his eclectic and daring designs. His work often blurred the line between architecture, art, and furniture. Cecchi’s creations are held in prestigious collections and are highly sought after by international collectors. His tragic death in New York in 1990 cut short a prolific career, leaving behind timeless and rare designs like this chair.
