Crafted in the 1960s, this piece of furniture combines British craftsmanship with Scandinavian design – typical of the post-war design philosophy.

The solid teak frame impresses with elegant lines, softly rounded armrests, and finely turned legs. The slightly inclined backrest ensures a relaxed yet upright sitting position – a characteristic feature of the Manhattan series.

The chair has been reupholstered and covered in a high-quality fabric whose color and texture are reminiscent of the original fabrics of the 1960s. The back still bears the original retailer's label from Kean & Scott – a renowned British furniture store with locations in Birmingham, Solihull, and Leamington Spa.

This piece comes from a private home near Hamburg and was purchased together with a matching Manhattan daybed. Both pieces are available individually. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
