Pair Mid Century Modern Bent Plywood Lounge Chairs by ‘Viko’ Baumritter

SOLD

mid century modern viko baumritter molde plywood lounge chairs

This pair of mid century modern lounge chairs from the ‘Viko’ collection by Baumritter features molded bent plywood armrests with a rich walnut veneer. Each chair has a spindled steel back & one chair back is lower than the other. The sturdy steel frames are virtually indestructible. The faux bois (false wood) texture on the steel frames is an interesting contrast to the voluptuous curves of the molded walnut sides. Metal construction allows for the slim legs to achieve a near horizontal posture which would be structurally impractical with wood legs of this thickness. The result is a comfortable, supportive, and stylish chair. With updated high density foam cushions, and high quality upholstery fabric, these fabulous vintage chairs have been reincarnated and are ready for your home. Founded in 1932 by two brothers-in-law, Nathan Ancelland Theodore Baumritter, Baumritter was the forerunner to Ethan Allen, one of the largest furniture companies in the United States. Each has a seat height of 15 inches. Sold as a set only.

Diamond Chair by Harry Bertoia for Knoll

SOLD

This iconic diamond chair by Harry Bertoia for Knoll furniture is clad in a regal purple wool seat covering and boasts an unparalleled profile. Bertoia was an Italian-born American artist, sculptor, jewelry maker and modern furniture designer who designed five wire pieces that became known as the Bertoia Collection for Knoll. Among these was the famous diamond chair – a fluid, sculptural form made from a welded lattice work of steel. In Bertoia’s own words, “If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them.” This imaginative design was ground breaking, and still commands attention today. This fantastic piece of furniture as art measures 44″W X 34″H with a seat height of 16 inches.
