The chair was developed for an apartment building they designed in Buenos Aires.
On March 6, 1940, a picture of the chair appeared in the US publication Retailing Daily, where it was described as a "newly invented Argentine easy-chair ... for siesta sitting".On July 24, 1940, the chair was awarded the 2nd prize by the National Cultural Commission[8] at the 3rd Salón de Artistas Decoradores exhibition in Argentina.[1] Both the exhibition and the picture in Retailing Daily attracted the attention of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
