Description

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.
