Leather Swivel Lounge Chairs Designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar

About the Item

Add some playful elegance to your space with these swiveling Dunbar chairs designed by Edward Wormley, circa 1960's. His signature style, defined by clean lines and architectural simplicity, thoughtfully curated with great emphasis on comfort expresses an acute awareness of the evolution of design. Superior quality and construction, each chair boasts a barrel-back silhouette that curves around into softly flared arms creating a tailored look that blends with decor from traditional to contemporary. Rests on a circular swivel plinth base seats you at the perfect angle that allows you to move effortlessly from one conversation to the next. Completely restored, newly upholstered in a soft, beige leather, a modern and versatile material that effortlessly combines comfort and style delivering a truly remarkable look. A leading American furniture designer for over four decades, Edward J Wormley possessed a personal flair for embracing modern trends without a total departure from historical influences. As the longtime director of design for the Dunbar furniture company, Edward Wormley was, along with such peers as George Nelson at Herman Miller Inc., and Florence Knoll of Knoll Inc., one of the leading forces in bringing modern design into American homes in the mid-20th century.
