A striking sculptural lounge chair from the "Zen" series, designed by Claude Brisson for the French manufacturer Ligne Roset in the 1980s. The chair is built around a dramatic continuous curve — the black leather seat sweeps down and rolls forward into its own base, while the tall, draped leather backrest is held taut between sculptural tubular arms. It's a striking piece of postmodern French design, as much sculpture as seating.
The black leather has taken on a soft, lived-in patina consistent with genuine 1980s age and use, with gentle surface creasing and light natural markings that add to its character rather than detract from it. A rare find for anyone assembling a collection of signed vintage design.
