“Lira” chrome and leather Chairs by Gae Aulenti – Italy, 1970s
Product Details
A striking set of four “Lira” chairs designed by Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti in the 1970s. These chairs embody postmodern elegance, combining sculptural chrome frames with fully reupholstered espresso brown leather — a deep, dark tone that adds warmth and sophistication.
The Lira chair is a testament to Aulenti’s bold yet refined design language: minimalist lines meet architectural presence. The polished chrome base adds an industrial edge, while the rich leather brings comfort and tactility.
Highly sought after and increasingly rare, this professionally restored set brings iconic Italian design into the contemporary interior — whether around a dining table, in an office setting, or as standout side chairs.
Condition Report
Professionally restored and newly upholstered in high-quality genuine leather — both seat and backrest. The deep espresso brown tone beautifully complements the sleek chrome frame. Minor signs of age on the chrome have been retained and gently polished, enhancing the character without compromising quality. Structurally perfect and visually striking.
