Pair of Max Gottschalk Dining Chairs
-
Description
These lounge chairs, designed by Clement Meadmore in the 1970s, feature a minimalist yet bold aesthetic characteristic of the era. Here’s a detailed description:
Design & Structure: The chairs have a sleek, sculptural form with a cantilevered metal frame that exudes a modernist and industrial style. The chrome-plated steel structure is angular, with clean lines and a distinctive geometric stance.
Seating Material: The seating is made from black leather or leather-like material, which is stretched over the frame, creating a hammock-like effect. The upholstery has a smooth finish, giving it a luxurious yet edgy look.
Comfort & Ergonomics: Despite the rigid metal base, the suspended seat provides a relaxed, cradling effect, making these chairs both visually striking and functional for lounging.
Styling & Influence: Meadmore’s designs are influenced by Bauhaus and mid-century modern principles, focusing on simplicity, functionality, and a balance of materials. The sleek industrial appearance makes these chairs ideal for modern, minimalist, or loft-style interiors.
These chairs are a fine example of 1970s modernist furniture, reflecting Meadmore’s background in both sculpture and industrial design. -
