About the Item
Step into the world of timeless elegance with this exquisite Karpen of California "Horn" Lounge Chair, a gem from the 1950s that has been meticulously restored to its original splendor. The chair's deep olive green velvet upholstery from Knoll Textiles Collection, a recent addition, is both sumptuous and sophisticated, offering a luxurious seating experience that is as comfortable as it is stylish. The rich walnut legs have been beautifully refinished, highlighting the warm, natural tones of the wood and enhancing the chair's overall appeal.
With its distinctive curved back, this "Horn" chair is a standout piece that captures the essence of California Modern and Mid-Century Modern design. Its silhouette, sometimes described as space-age, is evocative of the era's forward-thinking and innovative spirit. Though the designer remains a mystery, the chair's iconic status places it comfortably among the works of celebrated designers like Vladimir Kagan, Edward Wormley, and Harvey Probber.
Measuring approximately 34.25 inches in width, 26 inches in depth, and 29.15 inches in height, with a seat height of 17.75 inches, this chair is perfectly proportioned for various interior spaces. It is an exceptional choice for a living room, adding a touch of mid-century flair to a contemporary setting or serving as a focal point in a minimalist space. The chair's versatile design also pairs beautifully with eclectic decor, where it can sit alongside other vintage pieces. In a study or home office, the "Horn" chair offers a stylish and comfortable spot for reading or contemplation.
Bedrooms, too, can benefit from the chair's unique charm, providing a luxurious spot for relaxation. The deep olive green velvet pairs wonderfully with natural materials and a range of color palettes, from neutral earth tones to bolder, contrasting hues. The chair's design complements Scandinavian simplicity, Bohemian richness, and even the sleek lines of modern industrial interiors.
This Karpen of California "Horn" Lounge Chair is not just a piece of furniture; it is a statement of style and an investment in design history. Invite this mid-century masterpiece into your home and let it elevate your interior to new heights of sophistication.

Mid Century 366 Armchair in Green Velvet, by Jozef Chierowski, Europe, 1960s
By Jozef Chierowski
Located in 05-080 Hornowek, PL
The 366 armchair is an icon of the polish design of the PRL period.
The famous armchair was designed in 1962 by the Polish interior designer and furniture designer Jozef Marian Chierowski. Produced in the Lower Silesian Furniture Factory in Swiebodzice.
The chair has a simple, modernist form. It consists of an upholstered seat combined with a wooden backrest. The organic shape is typical of the 1960s style.
The chair is very ergonomic and comfortable, as the furniture designs of that time were largely focused on the user. Due to its small size, the furniture fits perfectly into the interiors of contemporary apartments, perfectly meeting the needs of customers.
The chair is in perfect condition after a professional renovation. We can prepare this set also in another wood and fabric color.
