Lloyd Powell, Phillip, Lounge Chairs, United States, 1960s

It is constructed out of a boomerang shaped seating and backrest and sculptural armrests. In the front and the back of the seating, with an expressive wood joint, there is spindle inserted, where the canvas webbing is wrapped around. It has loose cushions with a green fabric upholstery.

Dimensions of the ottoman:
W 23.6" / 60cm
D 24.4" / 62cm
H16.9" / 43 cm
