Odile Mir Filo Lounge Chair Model 203 for Prisunic, France 1971

Rare Filo lounge chair model 203, designed by French artist and designer Odile Mir in 1971 and manufactured by Prisunic.

This distinctive lounge chair reflects the experimental and refined character of 1970s French design. The design is built around a solid chrome-plated frame with a light, architectural presence. The seat can be adjusted in three different positions, offering a comfortable and flexible lounging experience.

The chair comes in its original pony upholstery with a beautiful print, a defining feature of the Filo series. The natural texture of the cowhide contrasts beautifully with the polished chrome structure. The combination of chrome and leather creates a design that feels minimal, sculptural and very much of its period.

Odile Mir was known for her work as a sculptor, designer and illustrator. Her background in sculpture is clearly visible in the Filo chair, where structure and function are brought together with a strong sense of proportion. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, she created furniture and lighting designs for companies such as Delmas and Prisunic. Her work is appreciated for its simplicity, clever construction and timeless material use.

A rare and elegant lounge chair with a strong design identity. Its adjustable construction, original upholstery and refined chrome frame make it a highly collectible piece of 1970s French design.
