An iconic piece of American mid-century modern design, this Champagne Chair was created by the renowned husband-and-wife design duo Estelle & Erwin Laverne in the late 1950s / early 1960s.
Part of the Lavernes’ groundbreaking exploration of transparent materials, the chair exemplifies their vision of “invisible design”—furniture that occupies space without visually overwhelming it. The sculptural shell is crafted from molded transparent acrylic (Lucite), elegantly shaped to cradle the body, and mounted on a refined pedestal base that enhances its floating, architectural presence.
The Champagne Chair is both functional and sculptural: light in appearance, yet bold in character. It reflects the optimism and material innovation of the Space Age while remaining timeless and effortlessly contemporary.
A true statement piece for collectors and design connoisseurs, this chair works beautifully as a standalone object, a desk or dining chair, or as a sculptural accent in both modern and eclectic interiors.
