Designed in 1989 by Roy de Scheemaker for the renowned Dutch manufacturer Leolux, the Pallone was originally conceived for the “House of the Future” project, a vision that demanded furniture be as sculptural as it was functional. This specific example remains true to that avant-garde spirit, embodying the playful yet sophisticated ethos of the late-20th-century postmodern movement. The chair is defined by its distinctive, organic silhouette—a voluminous, low-slung spherical seat anchored by short cylindrical feet, contrasted by a floating backrest that appears to hover on a sleek metal stem. This "big ball" design offers a unique seating experience that balances high-impact visual aesthetics with surprisingly ergonomic comfort, making it a definitive statement piece for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

Authenticity is confirmed by the presence of the original Leolux label attached near the base, ensuring its provenance as a genuine handcrafted article from the Netherlands. As a vintage example, this piece carries the honest character of its history. While the structure remains sound and the futuristic form undiminished, the chair exhibits signs of a life well-lived. The finish on the legs shows visible scuffing consistent with age, and the leather upholstery features natural creasing alongside a distinct horizontal surface abrasion across the curve of the seat. These cosmetic imperfections reflect its authentic vintage nature, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a celebrated design classic that prioritizes character and history over pristine condition.
