Rare Dragonfly transforming lounge chair and chaise longue designed by Karim Rashid for Italian manufacturer Bonaldo. A striking space-age design featuring white leather upholstery, polished chrome steel swivel base, and a seamless dual-position mechanism.

An exceptional and rare iteration of the Dragonfly design, conceived by visionary designer Karim Rashid for the renowned Italian manufacturer Bonaldo. This high-impact transformer piece effortlessly converts from a sophisticated lounge chair into an extended chaise longue in a single fluid movement, perfectly embodying Rashid's signature organic minimalism. Upholstered in tactile white natural leather and anchored by a heavy, polished chrome-plated steel swivel base—bringing the total weight to a substantial 40 kg—the chair marries sculptural futurism with everyday versatility. The robust mechanical transformation system operates smoothly, offering two distinct seating configurations for contemporary living spaces, executive offices, or design collections. Maintained in good vintage condition with full working order to the pivoting and transforming mechanisms. Crafted in Italy, this statement piece represents the pinnacle of late-century visionary design.
