Mid century Pallone Lounge Chair by Roy de Scheemaker for Leolux, 1980s – Blue & Black Leather, Netherlands
An iconic piece of Dutch design, this original Pallone lounge chair was designed by Roy de Scheemaker for Leolux in the late 1980s. First introduced in 1989 for the House of the Future in Rosmalen, the Pallone quickly became a landmark of futuristic furniture design, celebrated for its playful silhouette, innovative form, and distinctive space-age aesthetic.
With its sculptural, almost spherical shape, the Pallone combines bold visual character with exceptional comfort. The generously curved seat cushion rests on three short, polished legs, creating a dynamic and slightly angled profile. Above it, the wide, curved backrest appears to float on its chrome-plated supporting frame, reinforcing the chair’s unmistakably futuristic appearance.
The striking upholstery combines black leather in the central seating area with blue fabric on the outer sections, creating an eye-catching contrast that highlights the chair’s distinctive two-zone seat design.
Both a functional lounge chair and a collectible design statement, this Pallone is an excellent addition to a mid-century modern interior, a contemporary living space, or a carefully curated collection of iconic European furniture. Its bold proportions and playful geometry make it particularly appealing to lovers of postmodern, Memphis-inspired, and space-age design.
The chair is in very good vintage condition, with no cuts or dents to the upholstery. It retains its distinctive sculptural character and remains an impressive example of Leolux’s innovative design heritage.
