viko baumritter lounge chair mid century modern vintage furniture

This mid century modern Faux Bois lounge chair from the Viko line by Baumritter has a tubular metal frame, solid walnut armrests, and a reversible original cushion.  One side of the cushion is solid teal vinyl, and the other is a complimentary striped pattern of navy blue, teal, and black.  Baumritter was the forerunner of what we now know as Ethan Allen, one of the world’s largest furniture manufacturer.  This is a well made, sturdy design that shows no sign of slowing down.  The back of the chair is spindled tubular metal that matches the tone of the “faux bois” (false wood in French) frame. This innovative design in the mid sixties using new factory made materials allowed the middle class to enjoy the beauty of rich wood without the exorbitant price tag.  This funky chair has a seat height of 16 inches.
