THESE ARE NOW SOLD Pair of Giancarlo Piretti Alky Lounge Chairs and Ottoman Italian Mod.

THESE ARE NOW SOLD Here are a matching pair of the Giancarlo Piretti designed Classic Slipper / Lounge chairs, and an exceptionally rare matching ottoman. These were designed in 1969 and the line is named Alky . Although Piretti is best known for his Plia folding chair, these chairs features the same vision and quality. The flowing lines and brushed aluminum feet, bring to mind the work of Pierre Paulin. These chair are upholstered in a velvet type fabric, that has a very retro look. However they are great candidates for re-upholstery in an updated contemporary fabric of your choice. There are no holes or tears in the fabric on any of these pieces. Measurements for the chairs are as follows : 25 inches wide, 33 inches deep off the wall, the seat height is 16 inches while the back height is 28 inches. The Measurements for the ottoman are 24 by 24 inches wide (the design pinches like a bow tie near the middle slightly) and 15 inches high. Currently there are 3 different pairs on 1stdibs.com ranging in price from 1800.00 to 2400.00 per pair. I have never seen the ottoman offered for sale before and I imagine it is quite scarce. This is a chance to pick up some signature peices by one of the best Italian Mod. designers. THESE ARE NOW SOLD!
