Serax's Stresa lounge chair is a unique piece by artist and blacksmith – and former professional dancer – Antonino Sciortino. The lounge chair draws inspiration from the childhood memories of the designer, of sun-drenched summers spent in the village of Stresa in Northern Italy. The sculptural yet attractively airy appearance of the metallic lounge chair carries references to a 1950s armchair the Sciortinos used to have in their holiday home back in Stresa – a compact chair that offered an ideal spot for both napping, storytelling and serene moments spent together.
The playful combination of straight lines and curved, soft shapes makes the Stresa armchair not only a practical everyday essential but also an interesting and discussion-provoking work of art.
