Eleanor Ottoman, EarlGrey

Eleanor Mid Century Modern Armchair

"Modernism means freedom—freedom to mix, to choose, to change, to embrace the new while holding onto the good." The Eleanor series offers a clean modern interpretation of the 1950’s classic #5150 model, inspired by midcentury modern designer Edward Wormley.

Making the Icon

Sleek rectangular shapes are evident in both the seat and frame design. Unlike many mid-century modern pieces, Eleanor combines comfortable seating with appealing aesthetics. The snug fitted back design ensures a consistently well-tailored appearance.

Button tufting is absent on the seat cushion for easier maintenance. A single row of button tufting decorates the back. The gently cushioned frame and matching piping at the seams emphasize the minimalist lines. Wooden legs provide a sense of grounding, while the stiletto design lifts Eleanor from the floor, creating a spacious midcentury modern feel.

About Cashmere Wool Tweed

Cashmere wool fiber comes from “Cashmere goats.” These goats produce a double fleece with a fine, soft undercoat mixed with a straighter, coarser outer coat called Guard Hair. The fine under-down must be de-haired, a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine ones. After de-hairing, the premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and spun into yarn.
