About the Item

A rare and fantastic pair of original lounge chairs designed by William Katavolos, Ross Littell and Douglas Kelley for Laverne International from the Architectural Group One line in 1952. The design of the steel frame creates a fantastic open look and floating appearance of the curved seat design that flows gracefully into the back. The design is just masterful. Upholstered in black leather with tufted cushions. No pitting on the chromed steel but a little bit of crazing to the seats. We have replaced the foam in the seats as it was becoming porous. Overall very good condition. literature: Laverne: Furniture, Textiles & Wallcoverings, Krzyzanokski, pg. 185 literature: Laverne: Furniture, Textiles & Wallcoverings, Krzyzanokski, pg. 185.

Pair of Danish 1940s Style Large Scale High Back Lounge Chairs with Ottomans
By Fritz Hansen
Located in Bridgeport, CT
Pair of great large scale Danish club or lounge chairs of newer fabrication in the style of 1940's chairs but likely made around 2000. We found the chairs in Denmark and based on the looks they appeared to be 1940's but upon closer review we found them to be of much newer date. We liked the look and style very much and decided to offer them here. The chairs are superbly charming and similarly comfortable with a very strong presence to anchor any room. Raised on legs of oak. The chairs were made by Danish manufacturer, Hjort Knudsen...
