Beautiful vintage armchair model 1611, also known as the "Mattress Chair." Designed by Rob Parry and produced by Gelderland in the 1950s, it comes directly from the original owners, making it extra special.
This chair was originally purchased as a set with the more luxurious Lotus armchair, which features a metal frame. Over the years, both the padding and upholstery had become completely worn, and the wooden frame was also in need of some TLC. A serious fixer-upper, but exactly the kind of project we love.
Once it arrived in our workshop, the armchair was carefully restored. The teak frame was cleaned and refinished, bringing the warm wood tone to life once again. The original character of the 1960s has been preserved, but now with a fresh, renewed look.
The seat, the so-called "mattress," has been fitted with new foam and upholstered in a beautiful yellow wool fabric called Brisbane. The combination of the dark wood and this bold yet subtle color gives the chair a charming and inviting appearance.
When it comes to comfort, you'll always be in the right place with a Rob Parry. The 1611 invites you to relax with a good book or a glass of wine. It's a chair you'll sit in for a moment and then linger for much longer than planned. Timeless, playful, and pure Dutch design of the highest quality, ready for many more relaxing moments.
