Pair of German Space Age Lounge Chairs in Honeycomb Cut Velvet, c. 1970's
Located in Norwalk, CT
MATCHING SECTIONAL SOFA AVAILABLE! Browse our storefront for more. Possibly produced by the famed German firm Laauser, this exceptional pair of Space Age lounge chairs features a bold, chunky silhouette which provides the perfect canvas for showstopping Op Art-inspired upholstery: an unusual plush velvet in shades of mossy green, with sculpted honeycomb dots throughout. This mesmerizing fabric demonstrates an ingenious layering of pattern and texture: look closely at the honeycomb dots and you will see swaths of subtle stripes incorporated into the velvet pile - which, juxtaposed against tonal areas of solid green velvet - work in conjunction with the sculpted pattern to create fabulous optical dimension throughout the chair. Futuristic chrome casters complete the look and provide ease of movement, giving you endless freedom to arrange and rearrange these chairs according to your mood and spatial needs. Don't miss this opportunity to make a bold statement in your home with this fabulous pair of Space Age chairs!
