The design is a clear and refined homage to the sculptural lines of the celebrated Glasgow School designer Ernest Archibald Taylor, blending Art Nouveau/Arts and Crafts influences with the geometric rigor of fin-de-siècle modernism.

The angular, enveloping structure is made entirely of glossy black-stained wood (ash), embellished with elegant geometric mother-of-pearl inlay details on the backrest and uprights. The padded seat, with its distinctive geometric shape, is upholstered in leather (or eco-leather) in a vibrant coral red, creating a bold and extremely sophisticated color contrast. An iconic piece of furniture, perfect as a focal point in a grand entryway, a designer living room, or a professional office.

Era: 1980s.

Style: Postmodern/Arts and Crafts (Glasgow School) influence.

Materials: Black wooden frame, mother-of-pearl inlays, red leather/faux leather seat.

Item Condition:

As this is an original vintage collectible, there are signs of aging due to use and age. The wooden frame has some minor and normal dulling, small surface scratches, or minor discoloration in areas of frequent contact (e.g., the ends of the legs), which testify to its authenticity and use over the years. The leather upholstery of the seat maintains an excellent visual and structural impact, with very light and natural creases from the era.

Condition: Used, in good condition, with normal signs of aging due to age, as shown in the photos. See less
