It's not everyday that you find a chair designed with such genius; however, the new hand-crafted Lambretta Scooter chair is definitely worthy of that word.
This retro-inspired chair is desirable by both genders: the men will want it because it's simply a Lambretta and the women will want it because it's kitsch, vintage and an edgy decor piece.
A popular Italian line of European-style motor scooters, Lambretta-inspired designer Jim Plester and manufacturers Iconic Design combined to create a collection of chairs made from old Lambretta scooter spare parts and upholstered leather. Using traditional Lambretta colors (white, red and black), the chairs are built and designed using 20 different models of Lambrettas produced from 1957 to 1971.
And for the real Lambretta enthusiasts, you're in for a treat: each chair is embroidered with a genuine Lambretta logo.
