This 1950s Lounge Chair attributed to Melchiorre Bega, exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of mid-century Italian design. The sculptural wooden frame, with its refined contours and organic fluidity, reflects the artisanal expertise characteristic of the period. Its structure is both sturdy and lightweight, allowing for an inviting balance between form and function.
The chair has been reupholstered in a luxurious deep forrest green Dedar ‘Belsuede’ fabric, a contemporary textile that enhances the chair’s original aesthetic while offering a soft, tactile experience. The plush upholstery complements the warm wooden frame, which retains a patina of age—visible through subtle surface scratches that attest to its history. A full refinishing of the frame is available upon request, though its current state preserves the authenticity of the piece. 

Rooted in Italian mid-century tradition, this chair embodies the era’s fusion of modernist principles with artisanal techniques.
