Contemporary Fiberglass Armchair, Fudge Chair by Faye Toogood
Located in Warsaw, PL
Contemporary fiberglass armchair - Fudge chair by Faye Toogood. This is shown in the malachite fiberglass finish. Design: Faye Toogood Material: Fiberglass Available also in charcoal, cream or malachite opaque finish Faye Toogood’s new Fudge armchair celebrates the role that chance and subtle imperfections play in the design process. The chair’s solid form, standing foursquare on stout cuboid legs, develops the satisfying chunkiness familiar from Toogood’s Roly-Poly furniture collection, imbuing it with a playful plasticity. The subtle asymmetries and softly curving lines of the original clay maquette have been assiduously reproduced full-size, first hand-carved in wood and then faithfully cast in durable fibreglass. The armchair is available in four hues – ranging from subtle cream and charcoal to pastel mallow and rich malachite green - all with a handsanded satin-matte finish. The finished confection has a playful charm which acknowledges that strength in design arises from an element of chance in the moment of...

Antique and Vintage Armchairs for Sale on 1stDibs

Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between, and everyone has an antique or vintage armchair that they love.

Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power.

In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs.

Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5.

When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair — or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom — can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours.

If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces.

If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.

Everyone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design. Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurposed everyday objects to provocative effect; or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair; the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret; or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose. Find yours on 1stDibs right now.
