The design was highly influenced by the designer and architect Paul Frankl's D Lounge Chair designed circa 1925. This lounge chair features streamlined arms that flow seamlessly into the chair legs creating a stylized letter D shape. The backrest is very geometric, typical of the Art Deco period, with a rectangular back and a slat down the center for added support. The oak frame is refinished and the seat and back cushions are newly upholstered in a cream cotton blend. With its neutral palette and clean lines this Art Deco armchair can blend perfectly with any style of interior.
