Mid Century Vintage Orange Lip Chair
This is an authentic Mid Century Vintage Orange Lip Chair, or also referred to as the splice chair. The style is attributed to the iconic "Orange Slice", a masterpiece of modern design by Pierre Paulin, crafted in 1960.
The terms lip chair and slice chair (often referencing the iconic mid-century modern designs by Pierre Paulin and Geoffrey Harcourt for Artifort) describe distinct classic lounge seating styles, though regional naming conventions (especially in New Zealand) sometimes interchange them with the "Orange Slice".
This distinctive armchair design features two identical, curved shells mounted on a minimalist metal frame, creating a dynamic form that changes intriguingly from different perspectives, reminiscent of an orange slice.
The fabric is vinyl and the frame is steel. The chair is in great structural condition and the vinyl is also in good vintage condition with some typical markings on the edges as shown in the pictures.
A MUST HAVE for any mid century enthusiasts!
Dimensions: 750mm (H) x 500mm (D) x 650mm (W) x 400mm (Seat height)
