Product description
Unique vintage Nike lounge chair including ottoman (rare!) . The chair was designed by Richard Neagle and produced by Luigi Sormani around 1968 in Italy. Known from Disneyland California the NOVA House of the Future project. In 1954 Richard Neagle was asked to design a whole series of products (all thermoformed plastics) for this specific project. One of them was the Nike chair, which was very well received by visitors and the press and was put into production in 1968. Jacky Kennedy (when she was still married to Onassis) had chosen this chair for her yacht "Cristina". In 1970 the Nike chair was on display in the Victoria & Albert museum during an exhibition on the best chairs since 1918. This Space Age set is in very good condition, it is also very rare that the ottoman/footstool is still there. The Nike chair is completely original. Which is quite unique since most chairs have been reupholstered. The chair is presumably made from glass fiber.
