Offering for sale a true icon of Mid-Century Modern American design: the famous "Mr. Chair" armchair and matching ottoman, designed by George Mulhauser for the Plycraft factory (USA) in the 1960s. This collector's item is highly sought after for its bold lines and exceptional comfort, often compared to the Eames Lounge Chair. Features and Design: Authenticity: Original label "Mr. Chair - Manufactured by Plycraft, Inc." present under the seat (see photos), guaranteeing the furniture's authenticity. Structure: Sculptural shell in warm-toned bentwood (walnut), a signature of Mulhauser's work. The enveloping shape (wingback style) provides perfect support. Upholstery: Black button-tufted seat and back, offering timeless elegance and exceptional comfort. Base: Swivel star base (wood and metal) typical of the period. Condition: The armchair is in good overall condition for a piece of this period. The wooden frame is sound and solid. The swivel mechanism works. This is an original vintage edition: it therefore displays a natural patina and some slight signs of use or wear consistent with its age, which contribute to the charm and value of a period piece.
