Rare Pair of Italian Mid-Century Modern / Space Age Lounge Chairs by IPE

Creator: IPE Bologna
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
Important and ultra-cool pair of Italian Space Age / Mid-Century Modern armchairs known as 'Brevetti' by the boutique Italian (Bologna) company of IPE.

These rare chairs feature a dynamic sense of movement and sit low to the ground, yet their high back structure makes them very comfortable. Designers such as Vico Magistretti, Pierre Paulin, Eero Aarnio, Verner Panton and Luigi Colani cross-fertilized each other imaginations with daring designs during this period. IPE designs are the most rare.

Documentation: Metal Plaque affixed to bottom of each chair with signature: Brevetti, IPE.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
