Low Back Lounge Chair

Cabinetmaker and designer Henry Hans Schubell’s Lounge Chairs were created in the early 1950s in opposition to the heavy upholstered furniture of the time, boasting the height of comfort with a design aesthetic that was attractive and forward-looking.

The two slender chairs have been reintroduced and offer superb lower back support while impeccably soft and comfortable. The wooden armrest feeds into the pleasingly curved backrest, forming a visible wooden frame that cradles the cushions. Highly complicated to upholster, the chairs demand intensive handcrafting due to the level of detail.
