This lounge chair and ottoman is an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the European cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. This duo is of the highest quality, both in terms of visual quality, materials, and craftsmanship. Mid-century modern is notable for its blending of classic modern design with a slightly more updated feel. This beautiful lounge chair and ottoman have a classic, comfortable style that is a prime example of the best qualities of what is referred to as mid-century modernism.

European furniture from the mid-20th century revolutionized the history of what we consider modern design today. Lounge chairs in particular have become unrivalled references in it. Cabinetmaker lounge chairs may seem similar at first sight, however each model’s individuality becomes evident upon closer inspection. In this lounge chair’s case, its sheer volume and the welcoming, “bear-like” shape stand out immediately. Still, it is the upholstered legs that provide its unique visual character. The synthesis that this chair and ottoman have achieved between form and function is outstanding, aesthetics and utility come together in a purely mid-century manner. The fully upholstered wooden frame rests on upholstered wood legs. The legs’ shape is still visible despite being covered in fabric. Without any tufting or festooning, the focus is on the round, flowing lines of the bodies and their upholstery. The exceptionally soft, premium wool blend fabric highlights the frames’ round edges, especially the chair’s voluminous arm- and backrest and similarly, the ottoman’s body.

We have added a matching, upholstered ottoman to provide additional comfort and visual interest. The round back and similarly upholstered legs on the ottoman are a pleasant touch that make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any seating. They also tie the ottoman to the chair visually. From the frames to the upholstery, this lounge chair and ottoman guarantee utmost quality and longevity. The pieces of this set are -quite literally - fully upholstered in a premium wool blend fabric that lends them a luxurious impression. Thanks to this combination of materials, the set is extremely soft and comfortable.
