Fiocco lounge chair Busnelli by Gianni Pareschi

Experience one of the most iconic designs of the Italian Radical Design movement with this original Fiocco Chair by Gianni Pareschi, produced by Busnelli in Italy circa 1970. This sculptural lounge chair is a rare collector’s piece and features its original manufacturer label, confirming its authenticity.

The Fiocco’s design is bold and expressive, resembling a continuous ribbon flowing through space. It is constructed from a tubular steel frame and high-density polyurethane foam, then upholstered in its original technical stretch fabric — a smooth, elastic polyamide-elastane blend that was groundbreaking at the time. The material hugs every curve of the chair's form, enhancing its futuristic appearance and offering a unique tactile experience.

This chair is not only a visually striking object, but also a part of design history. It is included in major museum collections such as the MoMA in New York and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. The Fiocco Chair is a statement piece for interior architects, collectors, and design lovers who appreciate sculptural seating and 1970s Italian design.

This particular example is finished in timeless black, making it versatile for both minimalist and bold interiors. It is in excellent vintage condition, with only minor signs of use consistent with age. Fully functional and ready to ship worldwide.
