Pair of MCM Bentwood Armchairs, Thonet Style

Product details

Seller's Notes:These are the chairs that make a room. A pair of vintage 1970s bentwood lounge armchairs with that sweeping curved arm and dramatically arced rear leg that are unmistakably Mid-Century Modern and completely timeless. The design sits squarely in the Thonet tradition — bentwood construction done with real intention and craft — and these have the solid, substantial feel of quality American contract furniture rather than anything mass-produced. The silhouette is the thing: from the front, the arms curve gracefully inward; from the side, the rear legs describe a confident backward arc. It is a design that reads well from every angle and photographs beautifully. The seat and back cushions are upholstered in a sage green geometric honeycomb lattice that works surprisingly well — warm, neutral, and very livable — though they would also be fantastic freshly recovered in a linen, bouclé, or performance velvet. At home in a living room, a bedroom corner, a design-forward workspace, or flanking a console in an entry. The kind of pair that elevates whatever room they are in without demanding attention. Sold together. Dimensions: 23w 24d 32h 25armh 19sh Condition: age appropriate wear, vintage finish worn, scuffs/scratches, edge wear, discoloration, see photos.
