The original R-152 Contour Chair was produced in 1951, followed closely by applause from the modernist movement. Grant succeeded in his quest to design modernist organic seating in which the “negative” space of the chair conformed perfectly to the “positive” curves of the human body.
For a true to the original lounging experience, this Grant Featherston style Contour Wing chair (R-152) is tastefully paired with its matching counterpart, the Grant Featherston Ottoman. The organic shape of this modern classic icon infuses an element of relaxation to your space. Depth enhancing button tufting adds an elegant classic accent to this modernist design. The architecturally significant base and legs are crafted of solid Walnut Hardwood.
The luxurious Cashmere wool blend fabric is period correct with an updated hue. Kardiel respectfully adheres to high standards when reproducing original designs. Adherence to details such as dimensions, angles, seam finish, pleats, tufting, and fabric selection is our specialty. It is only with careful consideration to material and visuals that substantial designs like the 1951 Grant Featherston Contour Wing Chair are reproduced without compromising your budget nor the integrity of the original.
Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process, the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn.
