A postmodern German leather sling lounge chair, circa 1980s, in the style of Karl Forster. Thick black saddle leather is stretched over a black lacquered steel frame. Two leather-wrapped arcs sweep from the floor up into the armrests.
The armrests are the standout detail. Each flat steel band is sleeved in leather and stitched closed along its edges, and the leather runs just past the tip of the frame. It’s a slick, tailored finish that softens the steel right where your hands rest.
From the side the chair reads as pure geometry: a quarter circle, a sled base and a low, tilted sling. It’s sculptural enough to stand on its own in a room, and the sling seat sits deep and relaxed.
Color: Black
Material: Saddle leather, lacquered steel frame
Dimensions: 26.5" W × 31" D × 30" H
Seat height: 15"
Condition: Natural patina with light scuffs to the leather and rubs to the edges of the base, consistent with age and use. Please review photos for details.
