A chair mod. Lambda, designed by Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper
c. 1960, for Gavina, Bologna, Italy, four-legged structure made of punched, moulded and red-orange lacquered sheet steel, marked on the underside with label. Dimensions: height c. 78 cm, width c. 39 cm, depth c. 43 cm. Signs of age and use, scratches and abrasions, partly with small losses (to the varnish). (MHA)
