About the Item

Chrome Shoemaker’s Chair with Mongolian Wool Seat United Kingdom, Late 20th Century An imaginative and sculptural designer chair, created in the late 20th century from repurposed Victorian shoemaking machinery components. The highly distinctive frame is constructed in polished chrome, incorporating stylised cast forms that reference industrial heritage while evoking a playful postmodern aesthetic. The circular seat is luxuriously upholstered in long-haired Mongolian wool, offering a rich textural counterpoint to the gleaming structural frame. Boot-form legs and sweeping supports imbue the piece with a strong visual presence. A functional work of art, this chair would suit contemporary interiors, design collectors, or anyone drawn to the intersection of historic industrial materials and modern creativity. Dimensions: Height: 86 cm Width: 94 cm Depth: 134 cm Condition: Very good condition. Light signs of wear consistent with age and materials. Upholstery in excellent order. Style: Postmodern / Industrial / Studio Design Materials: Chrome-plated metal, Mongolian wool, cast iron (elements from original machinery)
