Chaise longue
Artelano & Samuel Coriat · Signed
France, Circa 1986
A rare designer chaise longue in black leather and black lacquered metal, designed by Samuel Coriat and produced by Artelano in France circa 1986. This model stands among the Parisian design house's earliest creations, dating from the period when Samuel Coriat designed the pieces for his young firm himself, alongside Annick Coriat. It was featured in Vogue Décoration magazine in April 1986. Its silhouette, at once graphic and understated, pairs a black lacquered metal frame with a taut black leather seat. A locking screw mechanism allows the inclination of the backrest to be adjusted, offering a choice of positions from reading to lounging. True to the spirit of Artelano, which favored pure forms and noble materials, this chaise longue unites comfort with rigorous design. Its timeless elegance makes it an ideal piece for a living room, library, study, or reading nook, suited to both contemporary interiors and more classic decors. A rare and documented piece, it bears witness to the beginnings of a design house that went on to collaborate with leading figures in design, from Pascal Mourgue to Patricia Urquiola.
