The Flying Carpet Chair by Simon Desanta 1980’s for Rosenthal, reimagines seating as an act of suspension. With a silhouette that appears to hover above the ground, the chair balances visual lightness with sculptural presence. Its fluid form suggests motion and softness, while the structure anchors the piece firmly within contemporary design.
Designed in the 1980s, the chair reflects Simon Desanta’s sculptural approach to furniture, exploring ideas of levitation, visual tension and quiet surrealism. Everyday function is transformed into an expressive object that feels both architectural, inviting and remarkably comfortable.
Produced by Rosenthal, the historic German design house renowned for its collaborations with forward-thinking designers, the Flying Carpet Chair sits at the intersection of functional furniture and collectible design. A piece that doesn’t simply occupy a space, but subtly elevates it.

1m tall
145cm wide
47cm seat height
Condition: Very good condition for age, no damage or signs of wear to leather. One small area of wear to reverse fabric top.
