Rare Douglas Snelling Mid-Century Armchair by Jon Jansen
Rare and highly collectible, this Douglas Snelling armchair by Jon Jansen is a sculptural New Zealand modernist classic with a distinctive boomerang profile and beautifully floating, curvaceous seat.
The solid timber frame and sweeping armrests create a light, architectural silhouette, while the tailored upholstered shell offers deep, relaxed comfort. Celebrated in early Jon Jansen advertising, this is a scarce example of progressive local design –perfect as a statement piece for a refined lounge, studio, or reading corner.
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...
