A rare and elegant CM190 lounge chair by French designer Pierre Guariche, dating from circa 1955. This mid-century classic features a sharply geometric silhouette with angled armrests and a reclined backrest, all upholstered in vintage rose-red fabric. Raised on splayed tubular metal legs with black rubber feet, the chair reflects Guariche pioneering approach to modern comfort and minimalism. A masterclass in French postwar design, this piece balances sculptural rigor with inviting softness. Height: 33 in. Width: 27.6 in. Depth: 22 in. Seat Height: 16 in. Great vintage condition. Wear commensurate with age. Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
