1970s Architectural Mid Century Modern Club Chairs in Cognac Leather
Located in Saint Louis, MO
With that rich cognac leather color that any fashionable aesthete is familiar with and appreciates, these Italian Mid Century Modern Club Chairs offer a high art architectural silhouette and a divine sitting experience that once you've sample, you seek out. Designed to exceed expectations on both looks and feels, cares wash away as you sink into cushions with the perfect amount of give. The Italian leather is high quality. Supple and soft like a new pair of Gucci loafers. The contrast between the simple exterior square shell and the plush box tufted inner cushions is dramatic. Sophisticated. Modern. Arm cushions slope out at top and tuck the arms. The top of the seat back mirrors that slope providing neck support. Those sloped cushions scroll out of the square shell with a humble sense of abundance and overflow. A unique pair of Italian club chairs that seamlessly merge high design and lux comfort.

Antique and Vintage Club Chairs for Sale on 1stDibs
Traditionally covered in leather and abundantly luxurious, antique and vintage club chairs are among the most comfortable pieces of furniture that you could ever bring into your living room. The classic club chair is one of the 52 types of chairs to know when decorating your home.
While the club chair was especially popular in France during the 1920s — known there as fauteuil confortable (or “comfortable armchair”) — modern versions are derived from those used in 19th-century English gentlemen’s clubs, which is believed to be the origin of their name. A riff on the traditional armchair, these seats typically have low backs, extra-wide armrests and more than sufficient padding to support extended lounging.
Well-known modern interpretations of the club chair can be found in Marcel Breuer’s pared-down Wassily lounge chair and in the cube-like seats of the LC collection, designed by Charles-Édouard “Le Corbusier” Jeanneret, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Debuting in 1956, the celebrated Eames lounge chair was a fresh, subversive new take on the classic English club chair and a culmination of experimentation by Charles and Ray Eames, its inventive creators.
When shopping for any style of club chair, be it a mid-century modern club chair, an Art Deco club chair or another type, you’ll want to think about the room you have in mind for this distinct seating. Club chairs occupy a lot of real estate, as they’re usually larger than standard chairs. (You’ll want to make certain that there is at least one foot of space around the chair, for example, to ensure the sitter doesn’t feel cramped and that there is room to move freely around the furnishing.) And although they were originally upholstered in leather, contemporary iterations of the club chair can be found in fabric and plastic.
Introduce a decadent atmosphere and a whole lot of comfort in your living room or reading nook. Explore a collection of antique, new and vintage club chairs on 1stDibs.
