String Chairs With Matching Table by Carl Koch, Vermont Tubbs, 1950's
About the Item
These lounge chairs are gorgeous and provocative. These lounge chairs designed by the acclaimed architect Carl Koch for Vermont Tubbs Furniture—a collaboration that seamlessly merges the brilliance of Koch's design vision with the renowned craftsmanship of Vermont Tubbs. These lounge chairs embody the epitome of mid-century modern design, showcasing innovative materials and a harmonious balance of form and function.
Born on October 27, 1912, Carl Koch established himself as a prominent figure in American architecture. His passion for efficient and adaptable housing solutions led him to explore various design disciplines, including furniture design. With a background deeply rooted in architectural principles, Koch brought his expertise to Vermont Tubbs Furniture, renowned for its commitment to traditional woodworking techniques and the creation of exquisite wooden pieces. With degrees from Harvard for Architecture and a masters from MIT, he had an incredibly strong foundation in architectural principles and design, which he later applied to his innovative approaches in housing and furniture design.
Crafted with precision, the lounge chairs feature a sturdy maple frame that not only provides structural integrity but also serves as a visual testament to Vermont Tubbs' dedication to sourcing local, sustainable materials. The unique design element that sets these chairs apart is the hand-tied string that spans the seat and seat-back, creating a suspended hammock-like effect that embraces the body with ergonomic comfort. This thoughtful design innovation, reminiscent of Carl Koch's ingenuity, adds an element of dynamic elegance to the chairs.
The lounge chairs are further enhanced by their black steel tube legs, which juxtapose the warmth of the maple frame with a touch of industrial sophistication. This striking contrast pays homage to the mid-century modern design movement, where designers embraced the fusion of organic materials with sleek, modernist elements.
Accompanying these lounge chairs is a matching accent table, seamlessly crafted with the same attention to detail and visual harmony. This table serves as a perfect complement to the chairs, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing surface for placing books, beverages, or cherished decor items.
Vermont Tubbs Furniture, with its rich heritage in fine woodworking, brings its expertise and commitment to quality to this collaboration with Carl Koch. The company's legacy spans generations, rooted in the tradition of handcrafted furniture that stands the test of time. Vermont Tubbs has long been associated with meticulous craftsmanship, responsible material sourcing, and a dedication to creating pieces that embody the beauty of nature and the timeless allure of fine wooden furniture.
In the realm of American mid-century modern design, the influence of notable designers such as Milo Baughman, Paul McCobb, Charles and Ray Eames, and George Nelson is undeniable. Their pioneering works left an indelible mark on the design landscape, shaping the aesthetic principles of the era and inspiring subsequent generations of designers.
With its visionary design, impeccable craftsmanship, and the spirit of collaboration between Carl Koch and Vermont Tubbs Furniture, this pair of lounge chairs and accent table harmoniously embody the essence of mid-century modern elegance. They stand as a testament to the timeless appeal of thoughtful design and the legacy of American furniture craftsmanship, beckoning you to relax and bask in the beauty of their exceptional presence.
These chairs are highly collectable, yet still obscure enough to impress your closest design aficionado friend. They would look great in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary home environment.
