Chairish$11,600
Acquire a piece of American design history with this exceptional pair of Model 1750 lounge chairs, designed by the legendary T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Widdicomb. A masterclass in Mid-Century Modern restraint and architectural form, these chairs feature solid wood frames—likely walnut—sculpted with the designer's signature clean lines and tapered legs. The defining characteristic of this model is the exposed strap or webbing suspension system, which offers both ergonomic support and a visually light, airy profile. Currently sporting vintage plaid cushions that exude a charming retro appeal, these frames are highly sought after by collectors and designers alike. Each chair measures 26 inches wide with a back height of 31 inches and a comfortable seat height of 15.5 inches; the seat depth is 19 inches. These chairs are in vintage condition, retaining their original character. The wood frames display a warm patina, while the original strapping and upholstery show signs of age and wear. They are stunning as-is for a period-correct home but also serve as the perfect foundation for restoration with new webbing and modern fabric to suit a contemporary luxury interior. Bring these icons of 1950s modernism into your living space for enduring style and comfort.
