About the Item
We are offering here a large number of Michael Graves designed postmodern club chairs or lounge chairs produced by David Edward Company. We have priced these chairs individually, but you may purchase multiples. There are currently 12 chairs. They are all in varying degrees of condition and different colors. Most of the upholstery is too worn to use as is so will need to be recovered. But we have restored and refinished the four light maple feet on each chair. They are priced accordingly. Please see photos, circa 1990s.
These are fabulous and incredibly well-built postmodern club chairs or lounge chairs designed by the renowned architect and designer, Michael Graves. They were produced for contract use by the David Edward Company. These chairs were part of the redesign by Michael Graves in the 1990s of our wonderful local library here in Topeka. Which, for just a tidbit of info, was named the 2019 National Library of the Year. The chairs are comprised of the signature postmodern rounded style of Graves with rounded backs and arms and supported by tapered light maple feet. They are chunky, comfortable, and wonderful. We have 12 in total and have priced them per chair so you may purchase multiples. They will need reupholstered, but we have restored and refinished the feet. These will be perfect for your home but are sturdy enough for commercial use. Just decide how many you want….and make them yours!
Michael Graves, 1934-2015, is one of the most prominent postmodern architects of the 20th century. He produced a prolific body of work which spanned office building, retail spaces, hospitals, and houseware products. It is noted he designed during his career more than 350 buildings and over 2500 products. He was born in Indiana; and in 1958 obtained a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Cincinnati with a master’s degree from Harvard in 1959. He received the “Rome Prize” in 1960 and spent the next two years studying architecture at the American Academy in Rome. In 1962 upon his return to the U.S. he began a 39-year architecture professorship at Princeton University. In 1964 he founded his own architectural firm, Michael Graves
Associates. He is known as one of the “New York Five” a group of young architects that championed a new and pure form of modernism. And in the 1980s Graves helped to shift the architectural conversation from pure forms to a new language of hybrid Postmodern design and was invited by Italian architect Ettore Sottsass to join his artistic collective Memphis. Mr. Graves designed products for the likes of Alessi, Dansk, Disney, JC Penney, Swid Powell, and even Target. After an illness that left him paralyzed from the waist down, he became an advocate for health-oriented design. He won multiple prestigious awards during his career and passed away at the age of 80 renowned and beloved in 2015.

View AllVintage Mid-Century Modern Club Lounge Chair by Flair Division for Bernhardt
By Bernhardt
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome Mid-Century Modern club chair or lounge chair from the Flair Division of Bernhardt Furniture. It is in wonderful vintage condition and wearing its original light turquoise blue nubby fabric. It has been professionally cleaned but the fabric does have fading as you would expect and there are still stains but no holes or tears. It will be at its best recovered. It is priced accordingly. Please see photos, circa 1960s.
I must tell you when we walked into the home where we obtained this chair and many of our other recent and soon to be offerings, I thought if I was ever going to faint this is the time. Of course, the house itself blew me away and then……the original furniture and art in all its glory. This chair is part of a three-piece living room suite by Bernhardt Furniture Flair Division and we are offering all three pieces this week. This club chair with its Lawson styling and loose cushions is really comfy; plus, it is held up off the floor with a fabulous base. The base or legs are comprised of a pair of walnut planks turned upright and running from front to back on each side of the chair. Simple yet dynamic.
Bernhardt Furniture was established in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt and has been going strong for over 125 years. He spent many years out west in Oregon Territory. After a serious illness, traveling back home to Lenoir, North Carolina and working as a logger in the densely forested foothills of Grandfather Mountain...
