CHAIRS + SOFAS + OTTOMANS
You’ll enjoy looking at the organic curves on this vintage modern teak easy chair. The high-quality teak used in its making. The Belgian linen cushions we had made for it. But we think you might appreciate sitting in it even more.
Rescuing a piece of furniture designed by Adrian Pearsall is always cause for excitement. Designs for his first company, Craft Associates (CA), were bold and exciting. We were fortunate to acquire this wingback easy chair and matching ottoman from the company’s late period – perhaps 1967. We’ve taken this set through a thorough restoration, starting with a rejuvenation of the solid walnut, sleigh-style bases. For reupholstery, we chose Knoll Textiles Diva in the Daffodil colorway. It’s a rich tweed that is both period-appropriate and timeless. The chair offers a deep, relaxing seating experience, and the ottoman elevates it to a true lounge act. Chair dimensions are 32″W x 39″D x 37″H with a 19″ seat height. The ottoman measures 24″W x 22″D x 16″H.

We’ve restored and restyled this set from top to bottom. The sculpted wood bases and arm accents are refinished with a rich walnut finish. And the upholstery is all new, with a nod to the original solid-striped fabric combination. We chose a vibrant medium-dark purple for the chair bodies and a complementary purple striped fabric as the accent. We recreated the cushion shapes and tailoring, too. This three-piece set includes a tall back chair, it’s club chair companion and a generously sized ottoman that can be shared.
The famed Barcelona chair has a royal heritage of sorts. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich designed it for the German Pavilion at the 1929 International Exposition hosted by Barcelona, Spain. It was used by the Spanish monarch to oversee the exposition’s opening ceremonies. We are offering two high-quality replica chairs with heavy, polished stainless steel frames, brand new leather straps, and brand new cushions. We took care to replicate the original look, with box-stitched and button-tufted tailoring. The upholstery is a top-quality black leatherette with the look and feel of fine leather (but better durability). Chair frame dimensions are 29-1/2″W x 29″D x 28″H. There are two chairs available.
Timeless modern lounge chairs designed by Folke Ohlsson and made by DUX of Sweden in the 1960s. They feature solid wood frames with flowing, organic lines and angled five-slat backs.

Maybe you’ve ascended to royalty. Or maybe you want a signature piece of furniture that stamps your style on a room. Consider this mid-century tall back, wrought iron frame chair. We had the frame professionally stripped and powder-coated in a black satin finish. Then we upholstered it in the grooviest vintage fabric in the collection. Chair dimensions are 23-1/2″W at the front x 23-1/2″D x 53″H x 20″ seat height.
These modern cantilever arm chairs were introduced in 1926, yet they still feel current.

The frames are polished steel tube and the seats, backs and armrests are thick black leather. Because they’re light and easy to move, you can use them wherever you need them: at a dining table or desk or as an occasional guest chair. Two chairs available.

The possibilities were endless, so we turned to our partner ModiLumi (learn more at ModiLumi.com) to create custom shades that would do the lamps proud. We choose fabric shades with a bold graphic print in saturated brown and orange with ivory. Dimensions with the shades are 13″ diameter at the base of each shade x 40″ tall. Sold as a pair.
These 1970s vintage pottery lamps came from the studio of David Cressey, a renowned California pottery craftsman. The body of each is heavy, hand thrown pottery with a vertically ridged design. Bases are solid wood and the necks are brass-plated. Excellent condition with minor tarnishing on the brass necks. Lamp height to the top of the socket is 28″.
Authentic 1950s era table lamp with brass and black accents, plus a vintage chartreuse parchment lamp. Dimensions are 26″ high x 16″ lampshade diameter.
