1950s Danish Modern Mahogany Lounge Chairs by Erik Wørts - A Pair

Designed by architect and furniture designer Erik Wørts, these lounge chairs were hand-crafted in the 1950s. They are mahogany with teal silk upholstery and rope piping. The wood has a lovely honey-brown tone that contrasts well with the cooler hue of the fabric. Wørts's design brought together traditional wood craftsmanship with more simplified modern forms, as in the rounded corners and sleek lines of the arms and legs. While the silk is in fair condition, the chairs can benefit from an overall reupholstery work. Dimensions: 26 in. overall width 28 in. overall depth 32.5 in. overall height 24 in. arm height 16 in. seat height 21 in. seat width 22 in. seat depth 8 in. floor clearance Condition notes: In overall good condition and structurally sound, with minor surface wear to wood such as nicks and scratches and general wear to silk upholstery, all consistent with the chairs' age and use. A good candidate for reupholstery work and restoration. Location: Stamford, CT
