A chair in which one curved rail forms both back and arms has roots in the horseshoe-back chairs of Ming China, but Austria gave the curve its best known European form. The bentwood makers of nineteenth-century Vienna steamed solid wood into long, unbroken bends, and some of their armchairs wrapped a single hoop around the sitter. Mid-century Scandinavian makers took the idea up with enthusiasm, and a good one is light, strong and comfortable without any padding beyond the seat.
This armchair has a frame of solid hardwood, its curved top rail sweeping round before dipping to meet the angled arms, which give you somewhere to rest your elbows through a long meal. The legs splay outward for a light, stable stance. The seat is foam padded and covered in a vegan leather in Stone or Jet that is hard-wearing and wipes clean, and non-marking pins protect the floor. It is rated to 300 lbs and arrives fully assembled.
At the head of a dining table it gives the host a chair with arms, in a kitchen it makes a comfortable everyday seat, and it is equally good beside a bed or in a living room corner as an accent chair. The seat sets off the wood, and the pairing looks warm and classic with a sage wall, cream crockery and a brass lamp. This listing is for one chair.
