Description
Beautifully hand-crafted mid-century modern lounge chair, inspired by the clean, elegant lines of Paul McCobb's designs (Predictor series). The chair features a sculptural spindle back, gently curved crest rail, and tapered legs, all crafted from solid hardwood. The generous seat and angled back cushions provide exceptional comfort; upholstered in vintage patterned, woven fabric with deep red tones.
The chair was commissioned by a professional working-artist couple (sculptor & ceramicist) for one of their homes in the 1950s and is custom-built to a high standard; it showcases quality joinery and craftsmanship of mid-20th-century design.
For collectors of Danish modern, McCobb- or Jens Risom-style seating this chair is a striking one-off design, for either a living room, reading nook, or any design-forward space.
Ready for immediate use or re-upholstery, if desired.
