About the Item

New Johnny wing back chair, deep bourbon leather / resin, made in Chicago. Created for Hotel 57 in New York in 2007. Collection of the artist, circa 2008/2019. Jordan Mozer (b. 1958). Signed. The Johnnie chair is 28" x 36" x 43" tall ( 71 cm x 91 cm x 107cm tall). Process and materials: The artist hand carved the forms, which were then molded and cast in integrally colored, Kevlar and glass reinforced, non-combustible chocolate colored resin. They were then upholstered in leather. All work was performed within 3 miles of the artist's studio in Chicago. The story: Jordan Mozer and Associates, Limited (JMA) renovated a hotel on 57th street between Park Avenue and Lexington originally built as a residence for female artists, professors and executives seeking an alternative to traditional women’s boarding houses in the 1920's, the flapper era. The residence was created by Mr. Blum, an upper east-side fashion designer. The design of the Frankie and Johnnie wingback (or "ear") chairs was suggested by a blues ballad popular when Mr. Blum's building was first built in the 1920s. It tells the story of a love triangle. The tune has been covered by Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, Burl Ives and Taj Mahal. The chairs orbited a lobby fireplace. "Wingback" or “ear chairs” were originally designed to collect the heat generated by the fireplace for it’s occupant... Small Batch Studio Furnishings: Mozer Studios LLC handcrafts all of their small batch products. They are never mass produced. We invite our patrons to embrace the nuanced irregularities of the form, surface and finishes as evidence of handwork, defining each piece as 1 of kind... Credits: John Stewart Clark created white background photos. Eliza Mozer is responsible for the photo at the Oak Street Gallery in Chicago. Doug Snower took the photos of Hotel 57. The drawing studies were prepared by the artist during the hotel design process.
