Italian 1970s design lounge chair in white leather

The Nuvolone chair with ottoman was designed in the 1970s by Rimo Maturi for Mimo Padova.

Upholstered in white leather, this rare set combines comfort, innovation, and sculptural elegance of 1970s Italian furniture.

Style and application

The Nuvolone’s rounded silhouette and tufted upholstery create a cloud-like form that is both playful and luxurious. Paired with its matching ottoman, the set offers a versatile lounge solution that works beautifully in living rooms, studios, or collector interiors, adding a bold statement of 1970s Italian design.

Design context

Produced by Mimo Padova, the Nuvolone series reflects the shift in Italian furniture during the 1970s toward softer, more inviting forms. Designer Rimo Maturi embraced foam technologies and modular concepts, creating pieces that embodied comfort while retaining a strong architectural presence. Today, the Nuvolone is regarded as a collectible Italian design classic, valued by enthusiasts worldwide.
