Eric Merthen for Ire Möbel "Admiral" Chair & Ottoman in Rosewood & Leather

About the Item

NOTE: Dimensions provided refer to the armchair. The ottoman measures H 15.75" x W 24" x D 24". Eric Merthen's imaginative vision comes to life in the Admiral chair's safari-inspired slung leather silhouette, with buckled straps and comfortably chunky padded cushions, supported by the pleasant geometry of a sculpted wood frame. Distinctive rounded handrests and finials provide a pleasing tactile experience, while rounded and gently tapered legs compliment the bold, organic look. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a matching Admiral chair and ottoman, finished in the most luxurious and desirable rosewood with original forest green leather cushions. Rosewood is a precious wood known for its rich color and captivating grain patterns, which provide the perfect backdrop for the luxurious dark green leather upholstery of this set, creating a harmonious blend of materials that exude sophistication.

  • Pair of Brazilian Modernist Rosewood & Leather Easy Chairs, circa 1970s
    By Sergio Rodrigues, Percival Lafer
    Located in Norwalk, CT
    Generous proportions and luxurious finishes set this fabulous pair of Brazilian Modernist lounge chairs apart from the rest. The frames are crafted from gorgeous solid rosewood, with interesting sculptural chamfering at the legs. The tufted cushions are finished in beautiful caramel-colored leather and fastened by fringed straps which give just the right amount of Bohemian flair. Though these chairs are unsigned, they bear many similarities to contemporaneous designs by Percival Lafer, Sergio Rodrigues, and Jean Gillon. As one of the world's leading producers of rosewood, the nation of Brazil has long held close ties to the furniture industry. Yet, it was not until the second half of the 20th Century when the South American country - long known solely as an exporter of raw materials - became a design powerhouse in its own right. During this time, designers such as Percival Lafer and Sergio Rodrigues drew upon a unique shared cultural aesthetic and a rebellious spirit to create some of the coolest and most sought-after furniture of the Modern era. Brazilian Modernist furniture...
