European Easy Chairs in Lush Shearling, Europe 1950s

About the Item

From early on, a dialogue with nature became the prime force in the ongoing evolution of European mid-century modern design. This relationship with nature was much in evidence in mid-20th century design, which actively expanded on the metaphors and motifs therein. This stunning pair of easy chairs revolves around high-quality materials, comfort, and the mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. The open design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism, whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen. These chairs in many ways transcend the word ‘modern’ thanks to their unique look. The design is focused on the aesthetics of the exquisite qualities of the upholstery. The outstanding look is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The solid wood structures’ smooth lines stand out even under the highly textural shearling, while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The soft fibres of the lightweight, curly white shearling drape beautifully over the chairs, while the light colour provides an elegant impression. Shearling, Mongolian lamb/shearling (also known as shag) is a long, flouncy fur celebrated for its softness and luxurious volume. As it can be expected from European mid-century pieces, the unity of functionality and comfort are still kept at the core of the design. This is especially evident in the gently curved, enveloping backs and the tapered, conical legs. The lacquered solid wood legs’ rich colour and grain further highlight the upholstery, creating a balanced look. Thanks to its visual qualities, mainly the shearling’s lush texture and colour, this pair of infinitely cosy easy chairs can also be used as accent pieces to break the restrained aesthetic of any minimalistic space. The use of exquisite materials, the combination of crafts with industrial production, and the obvious influence of the organic in European mid-century modern design all created a stir of excitement during the 20th century. This excitement carries on today thanks to pieces such as this exceptional pair. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in premium Mongolian shearling. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

Karpen Wingback Chairs in Luxuriously Soft Milk Chocolate Shearling, circa 1950s

By Karpen of California

Located in Saint Louis, MO

Stunning one of a kind pair of Mid-Century Modern wingback chairs by Karpen upholstered in super soft hand sewn Cocoa Milk Chocolate Shearling. The sort of chairs that become a family heirloom. A great reading chair. Perfect for a sexy mountain lodge or cigar room. A successful executive's evening chairs - perhaps fireside - while enjoying a robust Cabernet or a single malt scotch whiskey and cigar. Tall sculptural wingbacks have a commanding shape with an air of old money. The chairs are covered from top to bottom & front and back in several hand cut and sewn shearling hides. The Chocolate Shearling squares gently soften the formality to deliver super soft comfort and a luxurious look and sheen. You can't help but want to run your hand over the super soft shearling. Rich in color, the hides reflect light in different ways adding contrast and depth. Natural chestnut red highlights surface in the Cocoa Shearling. Tufted rounded backs - as originally designed - reinforce the chic and elegant vibe and invite you to lean back and relax. Wide seat and backs. Original sturdy walnut frame and conical legs. Shearling is highly durable and cleans up well - red wine approved. Seat cushions are upholstered in shearling on both sides in case you need a quick seat cushion flip - no expense spared. These Karpen Wingback shearling chairs are a special treat and wonderful acquisition. As glamorous and sexy today as when first made in the 1950s. Timeless. And they are the only pair available.
