George Mulhauser's 'Mr. Chair' is an icon of mid-century American furniture and interior style. It was designed for furniture brand Directional and produced by Plycraft. The Mr. Chair is a dangerously comfortable place to sit. The focus here is refined comfort matched perfectly with stylish design and a lightness of form.
The memorable design features an innovative one piece molded plywood shell in walnut that forms the curvaceous body of the chair. This is elevated by a buttoned seat that references the traditional Chesterfield sofa often found in gentleman's clubs. This classic mid-century design will stand out and turn heads in any contemporary interior.
This chair is the Mr. Chair Version II, which Mulhauser designed in 1961, a year after the original version. It features an updated and more streamlined four point base.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.
