Pair of Rosewood & Leather Lounge Chairs (Henry Walter (h.w.) Klein for Bramin

About the Item

Danish Modern pair of lounge chairs in original brown pebbled leather and rosewood. Designed by Henry Walter (H.W.) Klein for Bramin, 1970s Originally known as N.A. Jørgensen, Danish furniture manufacturer Bramin was founded in Bramming, a region on the west coast of the Jutland peninsula. Throughout the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, the company produced seating, tables, and casegoods in a style representative of the Danish Midcentury Modern era. Based upon Bramin’s catalogues and advertisements, N.A. Jørgensen launched the Bramin brand around 1957 or 1958. In the early 1960s, Bramin's ad campaigns promised "Deres garanti for kvalitet form og function" or “Quality, form, and function: guaranteed,” using strong, modern imagery. From then on, the more traditionally-oriented N.A. Jørgensens Møbelfabrik took a back seat. In the mid-1960s, a bold, graphic Bramin logo and branding was created, with a rounded, lower-case central “a” standing out from the remaining block letters. Bramin collaborated with many well respected Danish designers, such as Johannes Andersen, Hans Olsen, Kurt Østervig, and Frank Reenskaug. However, Bramin’s most successful relationship was undoubtedly with H.W Klein, a Norwegian-born designer who moved to Denmark in 1960 to work for the company. Klein's most notable design is the Ønskestolen (mid-1960s), a padded leather lounge chair on a five-star swivel base, but he was also known for wide range of living room suites, dining suites, and storage options. Other memorable Bramin pieces include the classic Rocking Chair No. 182 by Reenskaug (circa 1958) and the idiosyncratically asymmetrical Chair No. 168 by Olsen (circa 1956). For decades, the region of Bramming was a major hub for the Danish furniture industry, boasting 20 factories at its peak. Particularly hard hit by the global recession in the early-1980s, many Bramming-based businesses closed, Bramin included. After the closure, Klein moved to San Francisco. Though much of Bramin's history has been lost over time, the company's prolific furniture output has found a vibrant place in today's vintage market. 33ʺW × 32.25ʺD × 27ʺH with 15"H seats and 19"H arms interior seat dimensions: 22"W x 19.5"D

Corbusier LC1 Sling Lounge Chairs in Hair-On-Hide Leather, A Pair
By Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand Cassina, Cassina, Pierre Jeanneret
Located in Round Top, TX
Now known as the 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant, the LC1 chair was originally introduced at the Salon d’Automne in 1928 by the designers Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. Since then, the LC1 chair has become one of the most iconic furniture designs of the 20th Century, with Cassina taking on production of the piece in 1965. Constructed from a chromed steel frame, the chairs have been ergonomically designed using a system based on the measurements of the human body to ensure ultimate support and comfort. The chairs have a compact silhouette, with hair-on-hide sling seats and tilting backrests, with armrests in matching leather. Timeless classics, these chairs looks as modern today as they did in 1928, making them the perfect addition to any contemporary living space. Cassina re-issued the chairs in 1965, and we attribute the production to Cassina, but cannot guarantee the producer because they are not marked. The proportions and quality of production are of a very high level. These are in very nice original vintage condition; there are some worn areas to the leather. They will be wonderful seating in a living room, as occasional seating in the family room, in your bedroom or dressing area, or facing the fireplace in the study. Le Corbusier was born in 1887 as Charles Edouard Jeanneret. He began experimenting with furniture design in 1928 after seeing a model apartment designed by the architect Charlotte Perriand, whom he invited to join his studio. His cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, also collaborated on many of his designs and Thonet was the first manufacturer of his designs in the 1930’s. Along with Walter Gropius, Mies Van der Rohe, and Theo Van Doesburg, Le Corbusier is often considered the father of Modernism. He created a range of chairs that express his ideas, most of which have become classics. The Le Corbusier Basculant...
