‘Beautiful Dreamer’ Chaise Lounge by Ben Seibel, USA 1950s

About the Item

A rare ‘Beautiful Dreamer’ chaise lounge designed by Ben Seibel in the 1950s. This lounge has an elongated curved seat and a dramatically angled back with three tufts and welt detailing. It was newly reupholstered in a pale gray wool blend fabric and stands on four black tapered wooden legs with petite ball feet. USA, 1950s. Ben Seibel (1918-1985) was an American industrial designer recognized for popularizing sculptural tableware in American homes across the nation. Seibel was born in New Jersey and studied sculpture and painting before pursuing architecture at Columbia University. He left school to serve in WWII and never completed his schooling. After the war, he set up his own studio and began to create his own dinnerware, glassware and tabletop accessories. He eventually created lines for Iroquois China, Roseville Pottery Company and Mikasa. While he is best known for tableware, he also created vases, bookends and even a select line of furniture, including the ‘Beautiful Dreamer.’
