Mastercraft Lounge Chairs

Compared to that other furniture-makers in historically minded Grand Rapids, Michigan, the work of Mastercraft seems positively flamboyant. The company was founded in 1947 by brothers Charles and William Doezema, who hailed from a long line of cabinetmakers. They went overseas during their service in World War II, and returned home with a plan to make furniture with cosmopolitan flair. Their firm specialized in chairs and case pieces that have modernized traditional forms, finished in exotic wood veneers such as amboyna, yew, burl and fruitwood, and trimmed in brass. Bureaus and credenzas often feature cabinet fronts with decorative brass details such as silhouettes of flowers and birds, or figures that resemble Chinese characters.

In later years, Mastercraft created chairs and glass-topped coffee tables with brass frames. Some pieces included touches like the Greek key — a motif that appears in the decorative arts of both Asian and European antiquity. After Mastercraft was acquired by industry giant Baker Furniture in 1974, the company produced a large group of case pieces featuring applied brass plaques, acid-etched with semi-abstract forms by the German-born, Vancouver-based artist Bernhard Rohne.

The latter are some of the most popular Mastercraft pieces, and like all the company’s wares range in price from about $2,000 to $12,000 depending on size, condition and the amount of decorative trim. As you will see on 1stDibs, Mastercraft furnishings made a bold but artful statement — perfect for lending a bit of dash and brawn to a contemporary decor.

MCM Pair Two-Toned Lounge Chairs by Mastercraft Original Green & Floral Fabric
By Kroehler Mfg. Co., Mastercraft, Adrian Pearsall
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome MCM or Mid-Century Modern pair of lounge chairs by Mastercraft for their Holiday collection after Adrian Pearsall. They wear their original two-tone green & floral nubby linen-like fabric & have reversible seat cushions & tapered wood legs with front casters. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage & not new so will have signs of use & wear. The foam in the seat cushions has hardened & will need replaced. There are no zippers so if you intend to use the original fabric & would like us to add new foam & a zipper, we can do that at an additional charge. Please see photos & zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Jan 14, 1971. Wouldn’t it be wonderful after a difficult day to plunge yourself into a bed of flowers… the soft petals tickle your cheek as you inhale the sweet smell of the blended bouquet? Ahhhhh, relaxation… Well do we have the perfect pair of chairs for you!! Just look at this unique pair of mid-century modern chairs by Mastercraft for their Holiday Collection! They are in the style of the master of mid-century modern design Adrian Pearsall and they wear their original two-toned green & floral print nubby linen-like fabric, plus they have beautiful arm covers that look like they’ve never been used. They feature a reversible loose square seat cushion, one side features the floral print and the other is solid green, a fixed back cushion, and tapered wood legs with front casters. We even found a square patch of the original floral fabric that we will include in case you ever need a repair! There’s a bit of a gray area between traditional midcentury to mid-century modern and these fall within that gray space. Which also means they will blend in beautifully with many different styles. We can just see these chairs in a mountain abode or traditional style home, but they will look equally as awesome in your industrial loft or in a modern country style setting. They would also be wonderful in front of a fireplace in your cabin! Who needs their sweetie to bring fresh flowers home when you have this fabulous floral seating...
