Some refer to these chairs as "sleepy hollow" chairs. The chair was usually upholstered with the same quality of English leather that was used for the seats of a Rolls Royce (though in the catalogs, there are some covered in classy tweed patterns), tightly tufted, and filled with horse hair. These chairs can be found in many homes in West Michigan, but many owners are unaware of the treasurers they hold. These comfortable chairs hug you the moment you sit in them. Carl Forslund Sr. himself wrote of the Rip.
This is a very rare find and very hard to come across with.
Details on every angle of the chair, it was meticulously designed as a piece of art !!!

Made in Grand Rapids, Michigan by Carl Forslund and Three Sons. Forslund was a designer for Stickley Furniture when he originally designed this chair in 1932 as the Stickley "Leopold" chair (named after that company's co-founder, it was a top-of-the-line Stickley item. When Forslund left Stickley to start his own company he refined the chair further, hand-tufting each piece with horsehair filling. This is considered the pinnacle of mid-century-produced Grand Rapids furniture. The chair is extremely comfortable, and invites the user to relax (perhaps with children or grandchildren climbing on-board). Rare and special item. Lovely condition and beautiful color+wood.
