About the Item

Midcentury Slipper chair. Deco inspired Slipper Chair, with the ubiquitous low seat and tall back. Slipper chairs were originally produced in the 18th century for dressing the feet.These 20th Century versions are a much more paired down example, with clean lines and wonderfully curved bare legs. Recovered in Bute Storr Jumbo-Boucle, by Tom Dixon. Tropical hardwood legs. The modern popularity of the slipper chair is often attributed to the American interior designer Billy Baldwin who in 50's brought the chairs, with the addition of slip covers and box pleat skirts, out of the bedroom and into the living room.

  • White Stackable Selene Chairs by Vico Magistretti for Artemide, Pair
    By Vico Magistretti
    Located in Edinburgh, Scotland
    Vico Magistretti’s Selene was one of the first commercially produced chairs pressed from a single sheet of plastic. The Selene was first conceived by Magistretti in 1961 but it took several years working alongside the technicians and model makers at Artemide to produce the first production model in 1969. It was the S shaped cross section that solved the issue with lateral strength of the legs for Magistretti. “ It cannot be drawn. To draw it I’d have to have drawn at least a hundred cross sections” The Artemide chair was made from a single sheet of 3mm thick Reglar, a new glass reinforced polyester (GRW). It was first shown in white at the 1968 Triennale di Milano. Production of the Selene started in 1969 with white, red and black models shortly followed in orange in 1970. In 1984 came a new inspired pallet of yellow, light blue and pink for the aesthetically radical Los Angeles Olympics. Artemide’s production of the chair ceased in the 1990s then Heller reissued nylon and polycarbonate (colour dependant) injection moulded versions in 2002. The 1960s saw an intense period of exploration in product design with many embracing the recent advances of Industrial plastics. Verner Panton, Joe Colombo, Helmut Batzner and Sergio Mazza were amongst those who had chairs utilising modern plastics in production by the late 60s. Helmut Batzner’s chair...
