1930s-style Odeon armchair at John Lewis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Odeon

Inspired by the art deco era and available very soon on your high street – the Odeon armchair at John Lewis.

We love those curves and the high arms, both reminiscent of the 1930s, with  a smooth red Artisano hide and turned hardwood legs adding to the style, while a superloop-sprung back and serpentine springs in the seat give you a  firm, but comfortable place to park yourself.

You can pre-order now at the John Lewis website, priced at £1,200. A matching stool is also available – £299 will secure that.

eBay watch: Pierre Paulin Archi armchair for Ligne Roset

Posted on | Leave a comment

Archi

Back in August of last year, we mentioned that Ligne Roset was re-introducing a classic Pierre Paulin design from the 1950s – the Archi armchair. Well, it did re-appear, with prices varying from £1,400 to in excess of £2,000 depending on your choice of finish. Just as well one has appeared on eBay then.

Indeed, this particular chair os something of a steal. Used in a show home, so pretty much hardly used at all, it offers that classic design in a dark red finish (apparently darker than the picture indicates), the upholstery in a 'divina wool' felt fabric, with matt black metal legs for support.

The colour might not be to everyone's taste, but the price should be. Reduced for a quick sale to £650 on a 'Buy It Now' or taking offers.

Beatrix midcentury-style armchair by Conran

Posted on | Leave a comment

Beatrix

A modern-day midcentury gem from the hands of Sir Terence Conran – this Beatrix armchair.

Love the sloping back and (to a lesser extent in terms of angle) arms, along with the angled wood legs, with the retailer describing it as a 'relaxing chair that is perfect for curling up on with a good book'. I think we would agree with that.

You can customise the finished product with five leg stains and an incredible 91 fabrics and 23 leathers, all of which might alter the price one way or another. But as a guide, you can pick up the Beatrix from £850 right now.
