Placentero Lounge Chair

This is a ‘Sillón Placentero’ Lounge Rocking Chair, designed in the year 2000 by Diego Batti, an experimental Argentinian designer. The piece was produced by Brion Arte Industrial in Buenos Aires. The silhouette evokes a very Space-Age feel, with undulating lines and fluid curves. The body of the chair is made of fiberglass that has been plasticized and polished, and the seat is upholstered in red leather. The name was derived by combining two words: Placenta + Pleasure = Placentero.
This chair measures 38.2 inches deep, 45.3 inches wide, and 29.5 inches high. It has a stationary seat height of 13.4 inches. There are scuffs and scratches on the base of the chair, and the leather shows some fading. Overall, this chair is in very good condition. Please see photos.
