Pair of Mid-Century Modern Lounge Chairs in Forest Green Mohair by Pierre Frey

Pair of club chairs, reupholstered in mohair "Bold - Forest" by Pierre Frey, stained beech, Italy, 1940s

With its spacious design and fresh mohair upholstery in a rich forest green color from Pierre Frey, this set of club chairs guarantees the comfort you have been longing for. The chairs are distinguished by their generous proportions, deliberate rounded contours, and grounded feel, forming the perfect example of Italian post-war modernism. Their low, compact profile is defined by broad, curvilinear armrests that flow seamlessly into a gently reclined and slightly flared backrest, creating a cohesive, enveloping silhouette. In plan, the chairs take on a soft trapezoidal footprint subtly tapering toward the bottom. This geometry reinforces their grounded, stable appearance, further accentuated by the plush, generously padded cushions. The legs are short and splayed, executed in cylindrical wood, which serves to visually lighten the heavy upholstered volume while maintaining a sense of structural integrity. A defining feature is the Y-shaped wooden element at the back, elegantly carved and emblematic of the period’s shift toward expressive, organic geometries.
