An exceptional and authentic vintage "Mr. Chair" and matching ottoman designed by George Mulhauser for Plycraft.
This highly collectible mid-century modern lounge chair retains its original manufacturer badge, original Lawrence, Massachusetts Plycraft label, matching ottoman, and beautifully figured walnut shells. The sculptural profile, molded bentwood construction, and luxurious black leather upholstery make this one of the most iconic American lounge chair designs of the twentieth century.
The chair features richly grained walnut veneer with remarkable color variation throughout both the chair and ottoman. Original black leather upholstery remains in very good vintage condition and presents beautifully. The chair swivels and reclines smoothly, providing exceptional comfort while maintaining its classic mid-century modern aesthetic.
Often compared to the Eames Lounge Chair, the Plycraft Mr. Chair has developed a devoted collector following and remains a favorite among interior designers, architects, and modern design enthusiasts.
A striking statement piece suitable for a sophisticated living room, executive office, library, or design-forward interior.
