Pair of Rare NZ Architectural 1950s Armchairs
These 1950s chairs are a standout example of mid-century New Zealand design. This rare pair of early mid-century modern armchairs are full of energy and post war optimism. Clean lines and highly grained oak combine to form a design will stand out in any contemporary interior.
Hyper extended hind legs create a dynamic arch and vibrant rocket like form. Crisp linear detailing and armrests that tilt skyward complete a chair that is poised for lift-off. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
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.
