Vintage Ercolina Chaise Longue by Paolo Grasselli for Casprini, Italy 1980’s

The Vintage Ercolina Chaise Longue, designed by Paolo Grasselli for Casprini in Italy during the 1980’s, is a playful and innovative piece that perfectly captures the experimental spirit of Postmodern design.

Known for its surprising interactive concept, the Ercolina chaise longue balances horizontally only when occupied. Its unique structure shifts with the user’s weight, transforming the act of sitting into part of the design experience. This clever use of balance and movement makes the piece both functional and engaging.

Finished in black shiny leatherette, the chaise longue combines bold visual appeal with comfort. Its sculptural silhouette and unconventional form make it an eye-catching statement piece for contemporary interiors, design collections, or creative living spaces.
