Mid century sphere armchair by Boris Tabacoff for Mobilier Modulaire Moderne, 1970s

WOW Space age design at its best. Boris Tabacoff designed multiple space age designs in the 70s for Mobilier Modulaire Moderne; a French manufacturer of that time. What distinguished Tabacoff designs from other space age designs is his free standing (floating) shell. Only one vertical bar connects the shell and the frame and this is absolutely unique. As well, his use of materials was modern and fresh; plexiglass, metalchrome and leather. The Sphere is definitely one of his masterpiece. Because of the low production numbers of Tabacoff chairs, these items are very well sought after. Hence, collectable. This is the lounge chairarmchair edition. This specific chair has brown plexiglass, chrome frame and will be upholstered in white bouclé wool fabric. In very good and original condition. Some small scratches on the fibreglass visible but nothing structural. The frame has never been repaired or welded before and the chrome is without any corrosion. The fabric of the cushion completely new.
