About the Item

Elegant and sculptural Lucite side chair inspired by the designs of Dorothy Thorpe, USA, circa 1950s. The chair features a gracefully curved backrest in clear Lucite, recalling the sinuous silhouette of Thonet’s bentwood classics but reimagined in transparent modern acrylic. The round seat is upholstered in a vintage floral brocade fabric in shades of chartreuse green and rose, adding a vibrant contrast to the minimalist Lucite frame. A striking blend of mid-century glamour and Hollywood Regency sophistication, this chair embodies Thorpe’s flair for merging clarity, light, and form. Perfect as an accent or vanity chair for interiors curated by collectors, designers, or enthusiasts of postwar American design.
