SOLD

mid-century modern scoop chair 2 cushion design carter brothers

This is an original bent plywood Mid-Century Modern chair designed by Carter Brothers.  The dual cushion design dates this piece as mid 50’s;  after 1958, the chair was redesigned using a single cushion for the seat and back.  The walnut shell has been refinished in our workshop. The foam cushions have been replaced and provide an exceedingly comfortable repose. Both cushions have been reupholstered with new, matte black vinyl.  As rare as the single-cushion version is, the two-cushion model is even more sought-after and particularly difficult to find.  This super cool, vintage chair has a seat height of 14 inches.
