Milne, dating to circa 1950 and distinguished by its exceptionally sculptural, flowing profile. The design follows the natural contours of the body, with a sweeping reclining back transitioning seamlessly into the seat and raised leg support. Its low-slung silhouette is enhanced by an expressive curved base, creating an almost floating appearance and giving the chaise a particularly dynamic architectural quality. Upholstered in a sophisticated combination of green and tan leather, the contrasting tan edging traces the entire outline of the chaise and emphasises its sinuous form. The fresh green upholstery provides a bold period accent while retaining the refined character associated with post-war British Modernism. Both sculptural and functional, the chaise demonstrates the experimental approach to form and ergonomics that defined some of the most interesting furniture of the 1950s. Its distinctive profile allows it to work equally well as a functional lounge chair or as a statement piece within a sophisticated contemporary interior. Designer: Andrew J.
