Dauphin BOBO Postmodern Accent Chairs by Dietmar Sharping Red Leather and Maple
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous pair of Dauphin BOBO Postmodern accent chairs by Dietmar Sharping with red leather seat, polished aluminum feet, and molded maple plywood curved back. Gorgeous almost new condition with age-appropriate wear. Please see photos, circa late 20th century.
Oh man!! Just look at this awesome pair of BOBO accent chairs!! These Postmodern beauties were previously located in an architect’s office which is a bit ironic considering they were designed by German architect Dietmar Sharping for Dauphin Furniture! They were designed in the early 1990s for a sculptural seating program for Dauphin. Their ergonomic design with the undulating maple plywood back and bulbus seat is deceivingly comfortable. This pair is comprised of stunning red leather, natural maple backs, and polished aluminum feet. They would be fabulous in a sitting room, a den or office, or one on each side of a sofa or loveseat. They have so much personality and the possibilities are endless! We are in love with this pair of BOBO chairs...

Ward Bennett for Brickel Black Ash Scissor Lounge Chair, Red Wool Bouclé, 1984
By Ward Bennett
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Ward Bennett for Brickel Assoc. black Ash Scissor Lounge Chair, Red Wool Bouclé, 1984, New York.
Black lacquered ash, red wool upholstery, metal tags to each.
Ward Bennett’s story is a remarkable one. His career began at age 13, when he quit school to work in the garment district in New York City. At 15, he designed his first clothing collection; at 16 he left for Europe, where he continued working on fashion design.
While in Europe, he attended art schools in Florence and Paris, but he was mostly self-taught, with skills that ranged from illustrating, sculpting, and jewelry-making to furniture, interior, and home design. “I learn from people,” he once said, referencing a long line of influences, including Hattie Carnegie, Hans Hoffman, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Bennett eventually settled back in New York, where his reputation earned him some of the day’s most affluent clients: David Rockefeller and Chase Manhattan Bank, Tiffany & Co., Sasaki, Italian industrialist Gianni Agnelli, Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner. Another—former President Lyndon Baines Johnson—asked Bennett to design a chair for his presidential library that would be “a cross between a barroom chair and a courtroom chair...

Located in Miami, FL
19th century carved walnut folding scissors Savonarola bench or settee featuring a lion shield in the back.
Typical of the Italian Renaissance with carved Florentine backs (no shows in the picture).
This pair created in the 19th century, most likely 1840s-1850s, are in perfect condition. The Savonarola chair is a type of folding chair with an X-frame when viewed from the front or back.

Antique and Vintage Slipper Chairs
Antique and vintage slipper chairs are popular fixtures in modern interiors due to their armless, compact designs with high backs and short legs making them perfect for even the tightest of spaces.
Slipper chairs originated in the 18th century. They were used in private dressing rooms and bedrooms for upper-class women to easily slide into their shoes, often assisted by a maid, when corsets and heavy petticoats made dressing a cumbersome task. Since this emergence in the boudoir, slipper chairs have become an essential piece of furniture in modern homes.
In the 1950s, American interior designer Billy Baldwin — whose clients included Jackie Onassis and Bunny Mellon — placed slipper chairs in the living room for the first time. He saw them as the ideal chairs for entertaining. Their low seats and tall, curved backs invite guests to sit; the lack of arms, however, places a limit on comfort.
Slipper chairs can be found in various styles, from the classic mid-centuy modern with unadorned legs to 1930s French Art Deco with a shorter back. Edward Wormley designed some of the most iconic mid-century modern slipper chairs with tapered legs, a round wood base, button tufting and a tall back.
Today, slipper chairs are among the chairs you should know. They can be used to frame a coffee table or contribute to a sense of balance in a space. A slipper chair can fit next to a bookshelf or be tucked into a corner along with a small side table to create a charming reading nook. In entryways, a slipper chair can be used while you put on your shoes. It is also an elegant addition to the bedroom or home office, where its soft shape adds a casual contrast to more rigid furniture.
You can find slipper chairs in materials such as fabric, wood and upholstery on 1stDibs. Browse a wide selection of styles, including mid-century modern, Hollywood Regency and Art Deco.
