Description
This pair of lounge chairs from the 1970s combines a delicate frame of chrome-plated steel tubing with generously padded seat and back elements in black leather. The design is deliberately open. The seat and back are suspended within the slender metal frame. Three recessed buttons divide each of the wide back cushions. The combination of chrome, black leather, and lightweight construction is in the tradition of Scandinavian furniture design of the 1970s. In design and construction, the armchairs bear a clear resemblance to the seating designs by Karin Mobring for IKEA, particularly her models with chrome-plated steel tubing frames and black leather. However, the construction of the armrests differs from well-known comparable pieces.
