Studio Craft Sculpted Walnut Rocking Chair By Jeffrey Greene
About the Item
Get ready to rock and roll in style with Jeffrey Greene's walnut rocking chair, straight from the heart of Bucks County, PA. This chair isn't your average seat – it's a wild ride of whimsy and luxury that's perfect for the refined buyer who wants the refined nature of a walnut rocking chair, but pushes the boundaries of modern whimsy.
Jeffrey Greene, the maestro of furniture magic, has been crafting incredible pieces for eons. Hailing from the Keystone State, he's got that Pennsylvania passion for woodworking in his DNA, and it's all on display in this extraordinary chair.
The chair itself? Oh, it's a showstopper. Carved from rich black walnut, it's like a piece of sculptural art that just happens to be super comfy. Picture yourself sitting pretty in this beauty, feeling like you're on a throne made for royalty – which you are, in this chair.
What sets this rocking chair apart? The wild and whimsical bent-looking spindles that twist and twirl all over it. They give the chair a playful, almost surreal vibe that's bound to spark conversations at your next book club meeting or brunch.
But that's not all – the walnut itself is a star. The grain on this baby is like Mother Nature's fingerprint, each swirl and swoop telling a story you'll want to dive into.
Jeffrey Greene's journey into furniture greatness was influenced by legends like George Nakashima and Phillip Lloyd Powell – two trailblazers who knew how to turn wood into pure art.
George Nakashima was all about celebrating the raw beauty of wood, and that spirit shines through in this chair. It's like he whispered to the walnut trees to make sure they were on their A-game for this masterpiece.
Phillip Lloyd Powell was the master of whimsy and fun in woodworking, and his spirit is alive and well in this chair's playful design. It's not just a chair; it's a statement piece that will have your friends green with envy.
In a nutshell, Jeffrey Greene's walnut rocking chair is the ultimate fusion of art, luxury, and whimsy. It's a chance to own a piece of furniture that's as much a conversation starter as it is a place to kick back and relax. So, if you're looking to spice up your home with a dash of elegance and a whole lot of fun, this chair is your golden ticket.
This chair would look great in any mid century modern, modern or even more contemporary boho chic or coastal vibe home. This would also be an excellent rocking chair for a stylish nursery, study, or library. The only things missing from this tableau is a Kevin Kwan novel, glass of wine and your weighted blanket (if you share my sensibilities).

- Important Paul Evans Studio Sculpted Bronze and Resin Sofa, Signed, 1971By Paul EvansLocated in Culver City, CAThis sofa is strikingly gorgeous! A rare, one of one-- one of a kind sofa designed and executed by Paul Evans. This sofa features an almost sleigh like craftsman base that is very George Nakashima - esque, and is completely clad in Evans sculpted resin and bronze. The sofa has been upholstered in a fine, butter-creamy colored mohair and is not only easy on the eyes, but is incredibly comfortable. This piece is triple signed, featuring Paul Evans initials and date on the bottom of the sofa's shell, another Evans signature and date on the base of the sofa, and a G singed above for (George Fry). One of the most recognizable and important names in the American studio craft movement of the 1960's and 70's, Paul Evans was a groundbreaking pioneer in brutalism. Collaborating as well as sharing a showroom with Phillip Lloyd Powell until 1964 when Evans met the owner of Directional Furniture and created a line of 6 coffee tables to go into the Directional High Point, NC booth for the spring Market. As the story has been recounted by Dorsey Reading, the tables never even made it to the showroom floor. Evans soon found out the tables never even had the opportunity to be sold; obviously disappointed, the `owner of Directional, BG agreed to put the tables out on the showroom floor in New York City to placate Paul Evans. What happened can probably best be compared today with "going viral." The coffee tables started flying off the floor, and the orders came rolling in. This fervor led to Evans creating many designs with Directional in years long partnership-- with the very first series being the "Sculptured Metal" Collection which was publicized in 1968. This piece specifically was not a Directional piece. This piece was created in Paul Evans Studio and ended up being sold directly through the studio. This Sculpted Bronze and Resin sofa is an incredibly rare example of Paul Evans Sculpted bronze technique, which involves hand sculpting using an epoxy resin and coating in an atomized cold cast bronze. Paul Evans used to be labeled kind of a "bad boy" of design-- with an an affinity for sculpted brutalism and pieces that epitomize maximalism, his pieces were collected by rock stars, artists and creatives. Evans, now widely recognized as a pioneer in the American craft movement has solidified his place in design history and is highly collectable. This sofa would look excellent in any mid century modern, brutalist or even contemporary or boho chic environment. While brutalist in nature, this piece can be styled up or down to blend into almost any environment. We currently have this sofa in our gallery paired with a Jean Royere coffee table...Category

- Early Paul Evans Sculpted Bronze Throne Chair, Signed and Dated, 1969By Directional, Paul EvansLocated in Culver City, CAOne of the most recognizable and important names in the American studio craft movement of the 1960's and 70's, Paul Evans was a groundbreaking pioneer in brutalism. Collaborating as well as sharing a showroom with Phillip Lloyd Powell until 1964 when Evans met the owner of Directional Furniture and created a line of 6 coffee tables to go into the Directional High Point, NC booth for the spring Market. As the story has been recounted by Dorsey Reading, the tables never even made it to the showroom floor. Evans soon found out the tables never even had the opportunity to be sold; obviously disappointed, owner of Directional, BG agreed to put the tables out on the showroom floor in New York City to placate Paul Evans. What happened can probably best be compared today with "going viral." The coffee tables started flying off the floor, and the orders came rolling in. This fervor led to Evans creating eventually over 800 designs with Directional-- with the very first series being the "Sculptured Metal" Collection which was publicized in 1968. This piece specifically is a throne chair that also swivels. Upholstered in black leather, this throne chair is a wonderful example of Paul Evans Sculpted bronze technique, which involves hand sculpting using an epoxy resin and coating in an atomized cold cast bronze. This piece is signed and dated "PE 69" making it an early example of his goopy cast bronze series and line of furniture for Directional. It's extremely important to note: Directional Furniture showrooms in New York City and Chicago were private to-the-trade only showrooms, so only interior designers and their clients were able to custom order these pieces through the showroom. There was never any "inventory" of furniture. Each and every piece was a custom, hand crafted work of art, created to order. No two of any piece were ever alike. Evans eventually went on to employ a team of nearly 90 people, working two shifts-- helping to hand-craft his designs. This could easily explain why not every piece is hand signed, therefore making an early, had-signed pieces like this even more desirable for a collector. This piece has a wonderful patina, with vibrant colors and while still brutalist in nature, it's a bit more subdued and could effortlessly be blended into any contemporary environment. We currently have this piece in the gallery paired with a Vladimir Kagan serpentine cloud sofa, and a Karl Springer goatskin...Category
