1950s Harvey Probber Style Ebonized Slipper Lounge Chairs in Heavy Boucle

About the Item

These chairs are simply stunning. These vintage slipper lounge chairs were designed in the 1950s in these style of Harvey Probber. These lounges have been ebonized and upholstered in a heavy off-white / bone bouclé that is incredibly soft to the touch. These are chairs you'll want to sit in and lounge for hours-- equally as comfortable as they are beautiful. **Priced per chair** The shape of these chairs is recognizably Mid-Century Modern; timeless angular body that effortlessly blends into any contemporary, modern, traditional or even Hollywood Regency environment. The chairs can be styled up, or styled down and would look equally as fashionable in a Tommy Bahama beach house style environment as they would in a Danish modern home. We currently have them styled in the gallery alongside a Karl Springer coffee table and a Vladimir Kagan serpentine sofa and not only do they hold their own, they make a subtle, elegant statement without completely stealing the show. Absolutely gorgeous chairs that would look great, stand alone, or as a set perhaps both fireside with some occasional tables and design magazines.

Harvey Probber Curved Crescent Sofa, 1960s, 2 Available
By Harvey Probber
Located in Culver City, CA
Available right now, we have this stunning crescent sofa by design master, Harvey Probber! Picture this: You're lounging in sheer opulence on a sofa that's as curvy as the bird streets, and equally as glamorous. And guess what? We've got not one, but two of these rare 1960's gems, both dressed up in the most lavish off-white bouclé fabric you've ever seen, and priced per sofa. The Crescent Sofa by Harvey Probber is the epitome of swanky sophistication, originally designed in the late 40's early 1950's, Its unique crescent shape cradles you in heavenly comfort, like a warm embrace from an old friend. It's not just a sofa; it's a lifestyle statement. When you think of luxury, this is what you see. Now, about that off-white bouclé upholstery. It's the stuff of dreams, folks. Imagine sinking into those plush cushions, feeling like you're floating on a cloud. It's the kind of fabric that practically begs you to kick off your shoes and sprawl out in utter relaxation. And yes, it's as Instagram-worthy as it gets. #BoucléGoals, anyone? Harvey Probber was a design genius with a vision as big as the moon. Born in 1922, this guy knew a thing or two about making furniture that oozed class and charisma. He took inspiration from design royalty like Edward Wormley, Tommi Parzinger, and Vladimir Kagan. Edward Wormley, the king of mid-century modern, knew how to balance clean lines and timeless elegance. Wormley's influence on Probber is evident in the sofa's sleek, yet inviting silhouette. Tommi Parzinger, with his penchant for glamorous details, inspired Probber to add that extra touch of opulence to his designs. It's all about the details, darling! And speaking of details, Vladimir Kagan's knack for avant-garde shapes pushed Probber to think outside the box (or in this case, the crescent). Kagan's audacious designs encouraged Probber to create pieces that were as daring as they were luxurious. Elevate your home and decor...
