Hendrik Van Keppel & Taylor Green, set of two lounge chairs (model 801) and ottoman (model 800), lacquered steel, rope, United States, design 1947

Designed by Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green in 1947, this elegant set of lounge chairs with matching ottomans is a landmark of American post-war design. The lacquered steel frames support a continuous woven rope surface, creating a striking balance between comfort, innovation, and visual lightness.

The flowing lines and cantilevered forms reflect the designers' pioneering approach to modern furniture, while the refined proportions and craftsmanship give the pieces a timeless appeal. Exhibited in the United States Pavilion at the 1951 Milan Triennale, this set stands as an important example of mid-century American design at its most progressive.
