About the Item

Dutch Mid-Century, "Pelican" chair by Louis Van Teeffelen. Dutch Mid-Century designer Louis van Teeffelen (1921–1972) is most renowned for his furniture designs for Wébé. From 1955 until the end of 1967, he served as the factory's chief designer and during this time the firm manufactured high-quality furniture made of teak, rosewood, and occasionally walnut and wenge. It was one of the bigger furniture factories in the Netherlands at the time and created a body of work that is still recognized for its seamless combination of form and function. This chair is great example of the output during the company's best years and has a beautiful teak frame with armrests as well as newly upholstered leaf green velvet seat and back cushions. Frame was lightly refinished, with some visible wear and imperfections remaining that are consistent with its age and use.

Mid Century 366 Armchair in Green Velvet, by Jozef Chierowski, Europe, 1960s
By Jozef Chierowski
Located in 05-080 Hornowek, PL
The 366 armchair is an icon of the polish design of the PRL period. The famous armchair was designed in 1962 by the Polish interior designer and furniture designer Jozef Marian Chierowski. Produced in the Lower Silesian Furniture Factory in Swiebodzice. The chair has a simple, modernist form. It consists of an upholstered seat combined with a wooden backrest. The organic shape is typical of the 1960s style. The chair is very ergonomic and comfortable, as the furniture designs of that time were largely focused on the user. Due to its small size, the furniture fits perfectly into the interiors of contemporary apartments, perfectly meeting the needs of customers. The chair is in perfect condition after a professional renovation. We can prepare this set also in another wood and fabric color. About the fabric: This is special collection of velvet in a stunning color range of more than 100 different shades of both pure classic and non-obvious pastel broken colors. The colour palette has been created with extreme attention following the most recent trends. The unique feature of this fabric is its producing in nanotechnologies, so called WATER CLEAN, which gives it a high resistance to stains and facilitates the removal of stains from coffee, chocolate and even ink. This fabric is a perfect imitation of cotton velvet, gives the effect of softness and matte surface which works very well in heavy curtains...
