The Ray Lounge Chair and Ottoman is a seating set from [Necchi Architecture](/designers/necchi_architecture), part of the [Ec8 collection](/collections/ec8).
The frame is polished stainless steel, with arched supports that carry horizontal bars holding the sling seat and backrest. The geometry reads as architectural rather than merely structural. The arch form recurs through Necchi Architecture's projects as a mark of their Art Deco and modernist vocabulary.
Dark leather covers the seat and back in a sling configuration, secured with spherical metal fasteners. The fasteners function as accents, adding a note of precision to an otherwise lean silhouette. The piece sits low, its profile maintaining a horizontal line suited to both reading and conversation.
The ottoman shares the same frame language, completing the set as a coherent design object rather than an afterthought.
Paris-based Charlotte Albert and Alexis Lamesta named their studio after the iconic Villa Necchi, an homage to the meticulous attention to detail that architect Piero Portaluppi brought to that landmark. They channel the same rigour into spaces that embrace the deliberate collision of styles and eras.
