Kaufeld Siesta 62 leather lounge chair by Jacques Brule, 1960

This Siesta 62 comes in the classic black leather version with an ottoman. The chair displays an attractive patina, acquired over the years, which lends this classic German lounge chair of the Mid-Century Modern era an exceptional aura. The chair swivels and rests on a solid, heavy, gently tulip-shaped swivel base. The leather of the backrest and armrests shows slight signs of wear. The down-filled cushions provide excellent seating comfort. The sheer dimensions and angles of this armchair are still impressive today, making this Siesta 62 one of the most attractive armchairs of the 1960s. Hans Kaufeld was a German designer who founded his company in 1918 and produced furniture of the highest quality. In the 1960s, Kaufeld also supplied his armchairs to the Federal Chancellery. This Siesta 62 armchair was designed for Kaufeld by Jacques Brule in the early 1960s.
