Pair of Vintage Preview Lounge Chairs

About the Item

Postmodern "Preview" lounge chairs manufactured in the 1980s. Preview, a division of Wieman Furniture of Hickory North Carolina, gained acclaim in the late 1980s-1990s when Vladimir Kagan designed several lines for them. These are not confirmed as Kagan designs, though they resemble a similar model of seating. Exceedingly durable and comfortable with a densely cushioned seat and back rest with stylish, thick armrests which have a 'floating-like" appearance. All supported by ebonized block feet. Upholstery was likely redone in the 1990s. The fabric and foam are sound, but the pair could benefit from a re-do in a less busy fabric tautly applied to to better defines its crisp lines. One chair retains the manufacturer label. Measures: H: 28.5" top of frame alone / 32.5" including the cushion x L: 36" x D: 36.5" Arm Height: 21" Seat Height: 19.5.
