These chairs are exemplary of Wanscher’s elegant and restrained modernism, blending architectural precision with sculptural warmth.

Each chair features solid beech wood frames in original finish, showcasing a rich golden tone with graceful curves and ladder-back construction. The design includes Wanscher’s signature sculpted arms and a floating seat profile, resulting in a refined silhouette that feels both airy and substantial.

Original spring cushions are intact, upholstered in a vintage mauve fabric with signs of age including visible staining. Frames show scuffs and wear consistent with age, but are structurally sound with no breaks or repairs. Both chairs retain their original France & Daverkosen gold foil labels as well as John Stuart Inc. medallions, confirming their U.S. distribution through a high-end New York dealer.

Dimensions:
Width: 26.5"
Depth: 28.5"
Height: 30.5"
Seat Height: 17"

An ideal candidate for restoration, this matched pair offers collectors and designers the opportunity to acquire one of Wanscher’s most sought-after lounge chair designs with full provenance. See less
