Private sellerProduct description
The design highlight for your dining room: Timeless postmodern luxury. For sale is an exclusive, officially licensed set of six dining chairs from the legendary "Grand Flute" or "Grand Soleil" collection by the American luxury brand Donghia, designed by master designer John Hutton. The chairs bear the original design mark ("Donghia - A John Hutton Design"). In this groundbreaking design, Hutton deconstructed the classic French medallion chair in the Louis XVI style and translated it into a minimalist, extremely elegant postmodern form. The finely crafted wooden frame harmonizes perfectly with the iconic oval backrest. Set includes: • 4 x Dining Chairs (standard chairs without armrests) • 2 x Armchairs (exclusive armchairs – ideal as end chairs for the dining table) Color & Finish: • Frame finish: matte cream white • Upholstery color & material: between a light beige and a warm, metallic champagne shade. Velvet/velour fabric condition & potential: The chairs were refinished some time ago. Overall, they are in well-maintained, used vintage condition. Exactly one chair without armrests has a more noticeable flaw in the finish at the head (see detail photo). The remaining five chairs – including the two particularly valuable armchairs – are in very good condition. Tip for design enthusiasts: The chairs can be placed in your home as is. However, to get the absolute most out of these elegant pieces and perfectly integrate them into your interior design concept, a fresh coat of paint might be a good option. A dream project for anyone who wants to personalize high-end design classics! The upholstery is sturdy and offers first-class seating comfort. Specifications & Original Dimensions: Armchairs: • Height: approx. 95 cm • Width: approx. 72 cm • Depth: approx. 61 cm • Seat height: approx. 44.5 cm • Armrest height: approx. 66 cm Standard Dining/Side Chairs: • Height: approx. 96.5 cm • Width: approx. 61 cm • Depth: approx. 63.5 cm • Seat height: approx. 44.5 cm Note: As these are high-end US import dimensions, the chairs are pleasantly spacious, wide, and comfortable. Background to the price: Sets from this rare designer collection by John Hutton for Donghia, in pristine condition, often fetch well into the four-figure or even five-figure range in the international high-end furniture market. The price listed here is already very fair, considering the existing signs of wear and the recommendation for refinishing, and is calculated as an absolute bargain. Here you get genuine premium design for a fraction of the original price.
