Description

Fully restored postmodern leather "Onda" or "Wave" Chaise designed in 1974 by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti, (Milan, Italy).
The jewel of the Saporiti Italia collection, the "Onda" exemplifies the marriage of form and function -- it is aesthetically striking boasting an elegant profile with the exposed nickel-plated steel frame and lush yellow-orange leather, while maintaining its undulating form, which offers superior ergonomic support. Additionally, the luxe leather is incredibly soft and, with the addition of not only new LX-45 cotton wrapped foam core but also Dacron batting, provides optimal comfort.
The color of the leather resembles that of a number 2 pencil (orange / yellow tone).
Retains its original "Saporiti Italia" metal manufacturer's tag.
Newly upholstered in leather, steel has been cleaned.
Overall, excellent, vintage condition.
