1960's Cognac Leather Scandinavian Modern Beech Wood Lounge Chairs

About the Item

Handsome pair of solid beech wood Mid-Century Modern armchairs made in Scandinavia. These classic, timeless armchairs have been refinished and updated with all new top grain burgundy-cognac leather upholstery and handsome button tufting. Tailored cushions, spindled backs and minimalist clean lines give these chairs a captivating silhouette from all vantages. The arms slope elegantly, enhancing comfort as they cradle the occupants arms. The angled back legs place the chair in a slightly reclined stance, relaxing the sitter. Our skilled team invested countless hours in this restoration. Both chairs were completely disassembled, lock-pins tightened, and reassembled to ensure rock solid stature. The original dark stain on these solid beech wood frames was stripped and refinished in a lighter, amber color that we custom blended to compliment the leather. Finally, full grain leather upholstery was stitched over new foam cushions. Support straps (although original) maintain tight elasticity. Each chair exhibits a single "71" or "I7" stamp, hidden on an interior side rail (see pic). Not exactly sure if this is a maker's mark or date. The origin of the chairs to the best of our knowledge is Yugoslavia or Scandinavia.

Tulip Group Lounge Chairs in Rosewood by K M Wilkins for G-Plan of England
By Thonet, Percival Lafer, G Plan Furniture, Charles and Ray Eames
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Matching sofa also available and sold separately (see last pic). This incredible set was purchased new in Glasgow, Scotland in 1970. We acquired from the original owners who kept them in pristine condition. Designed by K.M. Wilkins for G-Plan of England, this line is appropriately named the "Tulip Group". Wilkins also designed the the well known Housemaster Chair, often misattributed to Ib Kofod Larsen. The "Tulip" design is demonstrated by the rosewood panels which are molded into curves that mimic a blossoming flower. Offered almost exclusively in teak, this rosewood set is truly a rare find. The rich, amber-red panels are perfectly complimented by the chrome hardware and velvet fabric. The luxuriously soft velvet is in amazing condition. The color is difficult to describe, but in our opinion, it's a cross between olive-green and taupe-brown. Of course the refraction of light on velvet can magnify or minimize the tones and highlights depending on the angle and environment. Both chairs hover on their original Magnum Orbit chrome...
