Zen Lounge Chair in cowhide by Kwok Hoi Chan for Steiner, 1970s
About the Item
An iconic Zen lounge chair designed by Kwok Hoi Chan for Steiner in the 1970s. This highly recognizable design is celebrated for its fluid, architectural form, created from a single folded structure that seamlessly integrates the seat, backrest, and legs into one continuous silhouette. The chair embodies the experimental spirit of 1970s design, balancing sculptural presence with surprising comfort.
This example has been newly upholstered in striking black and white cowhide, giving the minimalist form a bold and distinctive character. The natural variations in the hide ensure that every piece is unique, while the organic pattern beautifully emphasizes the chair’s flowing lines and geometric profile.
Compact yet visually impactful, the Zen chair works equally well as a lounge chair, accent piece, or collectible design object. Its low profile and sculptural appearance make it a standout addition to both contemporary and vintage interiors.
