The King chair, designed by André vanden Beuck for the renowned manufacturer Strassle, is a representative example of refined mid-century design. This specific model combines a robust architectural form with inviting seating comfort, making it a prized object for lovers of vintage furniture.
The armchair is crafted with a sturdy wooden frame that flows seamlessly into the characteristic open armrests and rests on a solid wooden star base. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a soft, textured beige fabric that forms a warm contrast with the dark brown wood tones of the base. The integrated swivel mechanism provides additional functionality, while the generous proportions of the cushions offer optimal ergonomic support. The construction reflects the high quality standards and craftsmanship for which Strassle is known.
The furniture is in functional condition with an authentic character that bears witness to its history and previous use. The upholstery (beige bouclé fabric), replaced in 2022, and the wooden frame display a natural patina befitting the age of the piece. The removable cushions reveal intact under-upholstery, underscoring the structural integrity of the design.
This swivel armchair comes into its own perfectly in a classic or mid-century modern interior. Placed in a quiet reading nook or as a distinctive accent piece in a living room, the King chair instantly adds an element of timeless elegance and warmth to the space.
