Designed in the 1970s by Italian designer and sculptor Adriano Piazzesi for manufacturer Mobili Tre D, the "Okay" lounge chair is a highly sought-after icon of Space Age design. Featuring an unmistakable oversized silhouette constrained by a striking exterior tubular chrome frame, the chair sets a deep, enveloping seat within a low, sculptural profile.
Available to purchase individually, you can secure them in their original vintage black leather state or commission a complete custom upholstery restoration. Please note that the listed price is per chair, not for the pair.
