This mid-century armchair exhibits classic elements of the ‘handicraft’ sub-genre (read wood and right angles), a definitive revolt against the somewhat cold tubular steel and leather furniture of high Modernism of the 20s and 30s. Most mid-century pieces elegantly combine the three sub-genres of handicraft, modernism and the organic, creating the warm, livable, yet unmistakably modern feel of the overarching style.
