Mongolian Shearling Easy Chair with Tapered Wood Legs, Europe ca 1950s
About the Item
This stunning chair revolves around high-quality materials, comfort, and the mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. The design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism whilst employing the exquisite qualities of its upholstery. In many ways this chair transcends the word ‘modern’ thanks to its unique look.
The flamboyant look is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The solid wood structure’s 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 Mongolian shearling drape beautifully over the structure, while the warm greyish colour adds a lot of depth. As opposed to traditional shearling, Mongolian lamb/shearling (also known as shag) is a long, flouncy fur celebrated for its softness and luxurious volume. The desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design is visible, especially in the gently curved and reclined back and the tapered legs. The solid wood legs’ dark colour and smoothness stands out beautifully against the lighter body, creating a balanced look. Thanks to its visual qualities, mainly the shearling’s lush texture and colour, this infinitely cosy chair can also be used as an accent piece to break the mostly straight lines of any minimalistic space.
Dating from this period of unbridled creation, this exceptional model preserves the traditional ideals of European mid-century design, while also utilizing the advantages of the eye-catching, clever upholstery. Ultimately, the design preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials making it a timeless, unique addition to any space.
