Set of Leather and Glass Hyaline Armchairs by Fabio Lenci for Stendig, Italy, 1960s

Italian space age design by Fabio Lenci, the Hyaline (pronounced as “Hay’Line) chairs are a prime example of Italian design of the time period. The thick leather rolls are interconnected in a flexible form and are fixed to the glass plates on the front roll, but can be moved along the edge of the glass on the top roll, so that the seating position can be adjusted. The leather rolls are placed in between both glass plates so they seem to float. The leather and rolls are produced of the highest quality, while the thick tempered and tinted glass provides for a solid base. The small plastic feet provide for the necessary floor protection of the glass plates. The specific set of Hyaline chairs come directly from Italy and feature reupholstered black leather rolls.
