The chairs were produced for Gruppo DAM (Designers Associati Milano), one of the formative collectives of Italian radical design, and represent the Baffo model in its first-edition production prior to the 2007 re-edition.\n\nThe Baffo (literally \"moustache,\" after the curve of the chrome tubing seen in profile) sits within the Italian 1960s programme of collapsing the visual weight of the lounge chair: the seat is a single sling of cowhide leather suspended from a continuous chrome tubular-steel frame, the leather under tension serving as the only structural surface. The construction is descended in spirit from Mart Stam's cantilever experiments of the 1920s, translated into the more sculptural vocabulary of late-1960s Milanese design.\n\nThe original cowhide leather has acquired a patina of considerable depth, with fine surface cracking consistent with fifty-five years of use. The chrome frames are structurally sound and present in very good condition.\nSold as pair.\n\nDimensions: H 83 × W 78 × D 98 cm; seat height 35 cm.\nMaterials: Cowhide leather, chromed tubular steel.\nCondition: Good - original leather with patina and visible cracking consistent with age; frames structurally sound; chrome in very good condition.\n\nSold as pair. The pricing shown here is for the pair.","brand":"Sahi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57037428162825,"sku":null,"price":16500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/h0caohzparyl4th4tzh6.jpg?v=1777995343","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/gianni-pareschi-ezio-didone-baffo-lounge-chairs-pair-italy-1969","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
