Exceptional offer: an extremely rare LL04 Lounge Chair by Maarten Van Severen , with a beautiful original patina.
In 2004, Maarten Van Severen designed this masterpiece, the LL04 Lounge Chair . Just a year later, he passed away from cancer. This gives the design an extra charged significance within his oeuvre: a late, exceptionally powerful statement by a designer who belongs to the absolute top of Belgian design.
With the LL04, Van Severen created a chair that is simultaneously sleek, minimalist, and exceptionally comfortable . The unique design, featuring a single armrest that doubles as a side table , combined with natural saddle leather on an elegant stainless steel frame , results in an object that is as intelligent as it is seductive. Everything about this chair exudes clarity, character, and purity.
Only 130 examples of this exclusive chair were produced, of which the first 15 were reserved for museums and collections. This makes the LL04 not only rare but also highly sought after by top architects, interior designers, and design collectors worldwide. The chance of ever being able to purchase one again is extremely small.
This piece is in incredibly beautiful condition and has developed a wonderful patina on the natural leather over the years, exactly as Maarten Van Severen himself intended. It is precisely this natural aging that gives the piece its depth, soul, and authenticity. Not a sterile object, but a chair with life, character, and an honest beauty that only time can create.
Maarten Van Severen was one of the few Belgian designers to achieve international fame. His designs for Vitra, Edra, Alessi, Pastoe , and other top brands are regarded today as textbook examples of pure, intelligent design. To this day, he remains one of the great heroes of the Belgian furniture industry.
The LL04 brings together everything for which Van Severen's work is admired: radical simplicity, functionality, perfection in detail, and an almost self-evident elegance.
CHARACTER AND PURITY.
