Very Rare Pair of Leather and steel Lounge Chairs by Paul Geoffroy for Uginox

Iconic pair of lounge chairs in excellent condition.

Deigned by Paul Geoffroy and manufactured by Uginox in the 1970s in France.

Striking design composed of curved stainless steel frames with beautiful shaped cushions.

The cushions are reupholstered in a natural camel nubuck leather, creating a beautiful contrast with the cool and slick brushed stainless steel.

The eye-catching silhouette is defined by the tilted C-shaped seat, which rests on a cross shaped base; the backward-angled seating part emphasizes the aerodynamic feel.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the tilted curved backrest features a sturdy springback function, providing great comfort in combination with the high-resilience cushions.

These specific chairs are fully restored, the cushions were professionally reupholstered with a natural high quality leather and the stainless steel frames were fully polished.
