Suzanne Geismar Swan Leda Lounge Chairs in Mink Velvet and Ivory Parchment Swans
About the Item
These glamorous, and so beautifully delicate, Leda Swan lounge chairs were inspired by Eileen Gray's "Dragon Armchair" for Yves Saint Laurent and are transformed from dragons into swans by designer Suzanne Geismar. Art Deco revival style upholstered in mink velvet fabric that's soft and luxurious to the touch and captures and contrasts light beautifully. Like an antique artisan frame on a celebrated work of art, these swan chairs frame and inspire elegance, warmth, and a one-of-a-kind look that only a few will ever enjoy. Wooden Swans artisan finished in ivory parchment hug the body of the chairs.
Geismar was also inspired by the mythological representation of Leda & the Swan, often presented in an erotic manner in Classical Greek Art. Zeus took the form of a swan & seduced Leda. Geismar titled them as such, "Leda Chairs." She also took inspiration in form from Eileen Grey’s Dragon Chair (famously owned by Yves Saint Laurent) that had dragons in place of Geismar's swans. The Dragon chair holds the record for most expensive chair ever sold at auction. Most famously admired by Barbra Streisand, her set of Leda Swan Chairs were placed center stage at her Art Deco Malibu Compound Guest House. Want to see more beautiful things?
