Lounge Chairs by Stanley Jay Friedman for Brueton, Gray Boucle, 1980's, a Pair
Located in Culver City, CA
These lounge chairs are absolutely stunning! A Pair of Iconic Lounge Chairs by Stanley Jay Friedman for Brueton: A Tribute to Postmodern Art Deco Luxury
Transport yourself back to the opulent design era of 1979, where the creative genius of Stanley Jay Friedman converged with the mastery of Brueton furniture company to give birth to an exquisite pair of lounge chairs that embody the spirit of postmodernism Art Deco design. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a nod to the bold influences of the time, these lounge chairs stand as a testament to Friedman's remarkable design prowess and his ability to seamlessly blend form and function.
Embodying a chunky and substantial silhouette, the lounge chairs exude a sense of grandeur that captures the essence of luxurious comfort. Anchored by a foundation of thoughtfully engineered solid polished stainless steel framing, which elegantly traces its path from the floor to the arms and curves down the chair's back, these chairs redefine the notion of structural beauty. The chrome framing serves as both a functional element and a work of art in itself, a distinctive hallmark of Friedman's design philosophy.
The upholstery, a sumptuous grey alpaca blend boucle, envelops the chairs in an air of sophistication and tactile indulgence. The material's plush texture invites relaxation, while its muted hue adds a touch of understated elegance. The synergy between form and upholstery evokes a harmonious union, beckoning one to experience unrivaled comfort and style.
Stanley Jay Friedman's design narrative draws inspiration from an array of distinguished design luminaries, seamlessly weaving their influence into his work. Echoes of Jay Wade...

Mario Bellini for Cassina 'Cab 414' Leather Lounge Chair, Signed, circa 1980s
By Cassina, Mario Bellini
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A beautiful black leather Mario Bellini Cab lounge chair, Model #414, signed Cassina, designed in the 1970s. These fine examples of the cab line by Mario Bellini for Cassina are classic staples for luxury interior designers and collectors alike, these lounge variations of the design are larger and deeper than the similar dining armchair, and have the addition of the seat cushion. Signed underneath with Cassina embossing to the leather.
Mario Bellini described the 1970s bestselling design for the Cab collection as “This was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.” and is now a signature piece in Cassina’s Contemporanei collection. Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of saddle leather. They then undergo fourteen discrete procedures, again by hand. The pieces are sewn together only when their outer edges have been trimmed to ensure a perfect fit. Once assembled, the cover is attached to the chair’s steel skeleton and held in place by means of a zipper fastening as in a bespoke tailored...

Antique and Vintage Lounge Chairs for Sale: Wassily Chairs, Eames Chairs and Other Celebrated Seats
While this specific seating is known to all for its comfort and familiar form, the history of how your favorite antique or vintage lounge chair came to be is slightly more ambiguous.
Although there are rare armchairs dating back as far as the 17th century, some believe that the origins of the first official “lounge chair” are tied to Hungarian modernist designer-architect Marcel Breuer. Sure, Breuer wasn’t exactly reinventing the wheel when he introduced the Wassily lounge chair in 1925, but his seat was indeed revolutionary for its integration of bent tubular steel.
Officially, a lounge chair is simply defined as a “comfortable armchair,” which allows for the shape and material of the furnishings to be extremely diverse. Whether or not chaise longues make the cut for this category is a matter of frequent debate.
The Eames lounge chair, on the other hand, has come to define somewhat of a universal perception of what a lounge chair can be. Introduced in 1956, the Eames lounger (and its partner in cozy, the ottoman) quickly became staples in television shows, prestigious office buildings and sumptuous living rooms. Venerable American mid-century modern designers Charles and Ray Eames intended for it to be the peak of luxury, which they knew meant taking furniture to the next level of style and comfort. Their chair inspired many modern interpretations of the lounge — as well as numerous copies.
On 1stDibs, find a broad range of unique lounge chairs that includes everything from antique Victorian-era seating to vintage mid-century modern lounge chairs by craftspersons such as Hans Wegner to contemporary choices from today’s innovative designers.
