"Safari" Chairs in Patinated Cognac Leather, Europe ca 1960s

Price:$7,700

About the Item

Born from both adventure and practicality, the safari chair has transcended its 18th-century origins being lugged around the great outdoors to become a beloved icon of design. Here, the classic pairing of the elegant patinated leather is paired with beautiful solid wood to command attention which is partly why this chair style remains popular in contemporary interior design. The design of this pair of remarkable chairs sits in a long tradition of safari chairs. From Eileen Gray to Kaare Klint and Elias Svedberg a lot of great designers have made versions of self-assembled furniture, which probably finds it origin in Indian Roorkhee Chairs used by the British military. The design recalls Pierre Chapo’s “S10” chair, with a similar frame that utilizes a simple, elegant construction with an impeccable joinery technique that also serves a decorative role. The mortise and tenon joinery is especially defining, joining the seats and the legs. The chairs have a confident outline with straight lines that allow the gorgeous patinated leather to stand out. Comprising the seats, arm- and backrests, the cognac leather is secured to the frames in various ways including belted straps on the seats, screws in the backs, and weaving on the backs. These differing methods add a lot to the chairs visually, and showcase the outstanding craftsmanship. Through a simple mechanism, the backs can be adjusted in their position for ultimate comfort. By focusing on “connections” such as the wooden joints and the leather’s diverse attaching techniques to the frames, these chairs have a striking modernist style. Whether in need of a statement piece or a comfortable spot to unwind, high-quality leather safari chairs are a great choice to bring a dash of stylish allure to any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The cognac leather has some marks and a beautiful patina.
