This is a striking mid-century modernist leather lounge chair, featuring a beautifully sculptural form and understated industrial detailing.

The chair is upholstered in warm cognac brown leather, with generously padded, gently enveloping sides and a deep, reclined seat designed for comfort. The backrest and seat feature distinctive horizontal channel stitching, adding texture and definition to the design.

The upholstery is supported by an elegant polished steel frame with distinctive angular, splayed feet, creating a wonderful contrast between the warmth of the leather and the cool metallic structure.

Its combination of organic curves, substantial leather upholstery and minimalist metalwork makes it an excellent example of 1960s–1970s Scandinavian-inspired modernist furniture. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
