At a Glance: - Rare Mid-Century sculptural lounge chair with a dramatic grasshopper-inspired profile. - Solid white oak frame fully restored and finished in a warm medium brown. - Hand-woven Neeru Kumar Window Weave textile chosen for its subtle herringbone and diamond structure. - Belgian linen piping from Kerry Joyce that enhances the chair’s linear geometry. - A one of a kind statement piece that reads beautifully from every angle. In-Depth: When we source objects for our inventory, we gravitate toward pieces with a clear place in design history or those with an attractive presence and timeless lines. It is rare for us to encounter a chair that cannot be definitively identified or matched to a comparable reference during our research. When this does occur, and we find ourselves captivated yet without a verified provenance, the answer is always to acquire the piece for our collection. This chair is one of those discoveries. We believe it to be a rare, possibly one of a kind, grasshopper-form accent chair that we had the pleasure of restoring in its entirety. We were so taken by its sculptural frame that we approached the restoration with complete conviction. Our goal was to preserve the integrity of the design while selecting materials that enhance its timeless character. The dramatic z-form arms were originally finished in black paint. Once stripped, they revealed white oak with a beautiful grain pattern that we enriched with a warm medium brown stain. To complement and celebrate the inherent geometry of the frame, we turned to the Pat McGann...
