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, 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...

An arresting study of balance and tension, this sculptural chair defies the boundaries of conventional seating. With its woven rattan surface and sinuous iron frame, it evokes both organic fluidity and geometric precision, standing as an artifact of experimental postmodern design. Of Italian provenance and dating to the 1960s, the chair reflects postmodern and Brutalist influences. The interplay of handwoven rattan and blackened iron creates a striking contrast, each material imbued with an inherent honesty that deepens over time. The chair’s composition is a dialogue between weight and weightlessness, structure and softness. The finely woven rattan, marked by the passage of time, bears subtle tonal shifts and a patina that speaks to its authenticity. The iron frame—minimal yet expressive—outlines the form with architectural clarity, emphasizing negative space and sculptural intent. Aged imperfections, from the gentle fraying of the rattan to the darkening of the iron, enrich its character rather than diminish it. Time has bestowed a quiet grandeur upon this piece. Its softened edges, textured patina, and minor surface irregularities serve as testaments to its authenticity, each mark a remnant of its lived history. The structure remains sound, preserving the chair’s distinctive silhouette and presence. At once functional and artistic, this chair offers a commanding yet understated presence within interiors that embrace sculptural furniture, material honesty, and conceptual design. Ideal for settings that honor Brutalist minimalism...
