Elektra Ottoman, Greystone Velvet
Elektra Mid Century Modern Ottoman
The Kardiel reproduction of this mid century modern icon features cushion you can sink into. An original metal Sinuos no sag "S Coil" suspension system encased in high density foam was selected for the seat platform of Elektra. Adding flair, the stiletto legs are narrower where they meets the floor with the rear legs angled slightly toward the back.
Viewing the images of Elektra from the side and its clear that the styling of Elektra goes beyond the typical square modern design. A hand crafted solid kiln dried hardwood frame features metal and dowel joinery methods.
Making the icon
The design originally went into production in 1958. Elektra is thoroughly modern with a mid century period correct elegance. Every detail from the height and width of the stiletto legs, the backward sloping low slung arms and the real wood undercarriage were documented and faithfully reproduced. The front and rear edge of the arms are rounded in true mid century modern style. Noticeable from the side angle images, the back gently angles to cradle the body in a comfortable seated position.
Whether placed in the center of the room or with its back to the wall, the solid gently curved varnished wood undercarriage adds the element of handcrafted artisan design. The wooden mid century modern flair leg is the perfect option for suspending Elecktra’s frame from the floor. The degree of leg flair angle was carefully measured staying authentic to this original 1950’s design feature. The timeless splayed leg design with the correct degree of outward angle pulls all of Elecktra’s modernism features together capturing the true feeling of the period.
