Pair of Kurt Coletto Model "903" Safari Armchairs, Switzerland 1960s
About the Item
This pair of Model “903” Safari chairs were crafted for one of the most renowned manufacturing companies in terms of design and quality. Horgenglarus has ranked among the world's finest furniture makers for more than 140 years. Born from both adventure and practicality, the safari chair has transcended its 18th-century origins and use in the great outdoors to become a beloved icon of design.
These chairs are iconic pieces of mid-century modern design, blending form and function in a striking way. Created in the 1960s, these chairs feature a masterful combination of rich oak wood and durable leather, emphasizing the elegance of natural materials. There are no visible screws or joinery securing the leather to the frame, showing the outstanding artistry. The oak frames, with their smooth, clean lines provide both stability and comfort, while the leather seating surfaces offer a touch of luxury. The oak wood is carefully crafted to highlight the grain, giving each chair a unique character. The leather’s warm tone further complements the wood beautifully, enhancing the overall organic look of the pair. The chairs' foldable design allows for easy storage and portability, a key characteristic of the safari chair style, which was originally created for outdoor use but has since become a timeless symbol of versatile, functional design. The result is a pair of chairs that feel at home in both modern and traditional settings.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this pair exudes both elemental modern elegance and comfort, making it a stylish addition to any interior space.

Pair of "Edouard" Armchairs by Guillerme et Chambron, France 1960s
By Guillerme et Chambron, Votre Maison
Located in Utrecht, NL
The “Edouard” lounge chair is often described as a “caquetoire”, or a conversation chair. This type of seating was an armchair style which emerged during the European Renaissance in France.
As the name suggests, this type of chair was meant for sitting for elongated periods to chat. Generally, these chairs were also highly regarded for their aesthetic value as well, which can also be said about these exceptional chair models. The “Edouard” is a sculptural model with a blonde oak frame that is characteristic of the French designer duo. The design showcases the wide variety of shapes and forms of the solid oak frames, from the curving lines to the straighter spindles comprising the backrests. Naturally, a conversation chair needs to be first and foremost functional and comfortable, therefore the backs are slightly tilted, and the seat raised, aided by the generous seat and back cushions. The French caquetoire chairs...
