Walnut Tufted George Mulhauser Mr. Chair & Ottoman By Plycraft

This listing is for ONE chair with ottoman. The second chair has been sold.Beautifully restored Mid-Century Modern white lounge chair with ottomans designed in the manner of George Mulhauser's "Mr. Chair". The chic white tufted upholstery is absolutely exquisite. The walnut wood shells are the perfect compliment to the luxuriously tailored upholstery. Cool, casual, and comfortable in their skin. If this chair became sentient, it would ask for a highball and a cigarette.This mid-century lounge set — designed by George Mulhauser for Plycraft in the 1960s — is a masterstroke of sculptural sophistication and ergonomic poise. The walnut plywood shells flow like liquid architecture, embracing the sitter with organic curvature and precise lines. The tufted upholstery adds tactile depth and vintage drama, contrasting beautifully with the frame’s smooth geometry.Design & AppealMulhauser’s vision fused the warmth of natural materials with bold, futuristic form. The chair’s high back gently reclines on a swivel star base, inviting a sense of relaxed ease, while the accompanying ottoman echoes the curves as a gracious nod to total comfort.Our in-house restoration team did a complete tear-down and rebuild to ensure every inch was inspected and delicately restored. A few loose buttons were retied and the fabric was completely rejuvenated to gleaming bright white using our proprietary techniques. Although the wood backs and under-arms were already in good condition, we went the extra distance to make sure every scratch was mitigated. 5 coats of hand buffed finish were applied to the walnut and new feet were attached on bases to finalize the restoration.Why This Listing Stands OutThis isn’t just seating—it’s mid-century sculpture. While “Mr. Chair” sets occasionally appear with basic finishes, this version stands apart for its sculptural integrity, premium restoration, and tactile appeal. The chair’s form reads as architectural, yet the upholstery invites leisurely repose.Ideal for collectors of American modernism and interiors seeking a statement lounge piece, the “Mr. Chair” set balances theatrical presence with homegrown craftsmanship. It promises to anchor a room with both design confidence and thoughtful comfort.The chair and ottoman both swivel on 5-star metal bases. The chair rocks back and returns to upright against the tension of a metal coil spring. Chair 38.5” Wide x 38” Deep x 39.5” High (14.5” seat height)Ottoman 25.25” Wide x 19.25” Deep x 13.25” High
