Stately, bold, and unapologetically sculptural, this cube-shaped club chair from the 1970s marries architectural assertiveness with inviting comfort. Inspired by the celebrated aesthetic of Milo Baughman, its form exudes masculine confidence—broad, grounded, and strikingly geometric.
The deep seat and thick, plush cushions envelop the sitter in luxurious repose, offering a high seat height balanced by an essence of solidity. Restored with a tactful eye, the frame has been meticulously refinished while preserving its noble proportions; only a discreet scratch remains. The reupholstered cover in sumptuous grey velvet enhances the tactile allure.
Crafted by Bassett Furniture Company—established in Virginia in 1902—this chair reflects decades of American craftsmanship. The company’s roots in solid wood construction and simple, elegant proportions shine through in this modernist masterpiece.
