This elegant Art Deco Machine age side/desk chair was designed by the early modernist legend Gilbert Rohde in the United States circa 1935. It features four rectangular walnut legs- the front straight, while the hind legs are elegantly poised at an angle lending the piece a subtle dynamism. The chair also offers a tufted back with four rectangular stitched panels clad in a beautiful taupe Holly hunt leather. This piece is a study in the beauty of excellent design, wherein the sum makes up far more than the parts. With its clean modernist lines and economy of form, this piece appears as modern (and striking) today as when it was created more than 80 years ago. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. It has been newly reupholstered in Holly Hunt leather and restored to mint condition.
