Item Description

Hailing from Hanoi, Vietnam, Quasar Khanh was born Nguyen Manh Khanh in 1934. When he married his wife, French fashion designer Emmanuelle, in 1957, Khanh decided to adopt the pseudonym Quasar, referring to a star that shines from millions of light years away. The latter half of the sixties saw the designer and engineer’s career flourish; one of his most celebrated bodies of work made during this period, a range of inflatable furniture entitled “Aerospace”, as a tribute to the conquest of space. He was the first designer to have this original idea! Success came very quickly as the range was exhibited in 1969 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the Triennale in Milan.

His collection of inflatable furniture has become one of the milestones of furniture design and has been exhibited in museums around the world, including Centre Pompidou in Paris and NYC’s MoMA. Khanh's pieces continue to be in high demand today since they rarely come to the market for sale. Here's a chance to own a piece of modern pop-art.

Dimensions: 70 1/2"W x 35"D x 26 1/2"H - Floor to seat: 14"H
