Italian space age design by Fabio Lenci, the Hyaline (pronounced as “Hay’Line) chairs are a prime example of Italian design of the time period.

The thick leather rolls are interconnected in a flexible form and are fixed to the glass plates on the front roll, but can be moved along the edge of the glass on the top roll, so that the seating position can be adjusted. The leather rolls are placed in between both glass plates so they seem to float.

The leather and rolls are produced of the highest quality, while the thick tempered and tinted glass provides for a solid base. The small plastic feet provide for the necessary floor protection of the glass plates.

The specific set of Hyaline chairs feature white leather rolls.

DESIGN: Fabio Lenci

A nod to the past with Italian designer Fabio Lenci's minimalist Hyaline lounge chair. Originally created in the 1970s for Comfortline, the seemingly Bauhaus-inspired design features chain-like cylindrical upholstered rolls in leather that form a curve with larger rolls at both the top and bottom. The padded cylinders are supported by two tempered glass panels. 

Fabio Lenci began his professional career in 1966. He set up a shop for contemporary furniture in Rome. He began to explore the use of new plastics and manufacturing techniques to produce his furniture designs, including this lounge chair.
