About the Item

This exceptional three-legged lounge chair exemplifies the sculptural genius of Henry P. Glass, a pioneering Chicago designer whose work bridged European modernism and American mid-century innovation. Crafted circa 1950s, the chair features a hand-sculpted walnut frame with signature arched, flowing legs—one central stabilizing leg for balance and two splayed supports—creating an organic, almost floating silhouette. The rich, figured walnut grain is highlighted by a high-gloss finish, with precise cutouts in the back and seat for weight reduction and visual lightness. Upholstered in supple black leather on both seat and back. A limited-production piece from Glass's collaborations with firms like Richbilt or J.L. Chase. Perfect for a modern interior, office, or collector's home—its tripod base ensures stability. Dimensions: 31" H x 18.5" W x 19" D Seat Height: 18.5"
