Pair of lounge chairs designed by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings. U.S.A., Widdicomb Furniture Co, c.1955.
Two armchairs with beautiful walnut structure, newly upholstered in ivory coloured DEDAR chenille upholstery. Superb!
Please note, we also have available a sofa, identically upholstered by the designer. Seat height: 36cm/ 38cm.
After relocating from England to New York, Robsjohn-Gibbons (1905-1976) would set up a showroom in Madison Avenue and quickly earned a reputation as a tastemaker among the city’s elite. His spare uncluttered designs were popular for their attempt to reconcile Art Deco whimsy with pure, classicist ideals. His designs were aligned with the ‚organic’ artists such as Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore.
Excellent vintage condition, new upholstery.
