Platform Mid-Century Modern Chair

Created in the mid-1950s, the Platform Chair is comfortable and stunning from the front, the back and the sides. Platform owes its comfortable longevity to premium ingredients like the Metal Sinuous No Sag "S Coil" Suspension seat platform and amply overstuffed Down Feather Cushions. The chair is architecturally suspended over a solid Natural Ash wood platform base deriving its structural inspiration from the concept of tree house living. The design of the platform chair is minimal and sleek with clean lines. A modernist single panel fixed back and comfortably placed arms round upwards from a curve at the base. One of the intriguing differences you will find in the design of the Platform Chair is the expansive wooden platform that suspends the chair from the surface of the floor.

Inspired by Tree house Architecture

An icon of mid-century modern design, the Platform chair is well known for its architectural wooden base “platform”. Originating from the concept of a tree house, the platform is substantial in dimension and created from solid varnished Natural Ash timbers. This hefty architectural element features a specific lean back angle pitch and spans the front, the sides, underneath and artistically extends upwards supporting a significant portion of the back. The width of the wooden frame exceeds that of the width of the upholstered chair, thus creating interesting angled space in the back between the frame and the chair at the base. As it moves up the back of the chair, the frame then angles back in toward the chair meeting and cradles the rear of the chair on each end. The wooden platform is a solid and architecturally stunning element from all angles allowing you to place the chair at any location in the room.

The single mid-century modern seat cushion design features a multi-density foam core but you may notice they are plump and amply overstuffed with down feathers. A richly comfortable seating experience results from such a streamlined mid-century modern design. The platform is a substantial modernist chair design for a relatively small investment. From the wooden frame down to the feather stuffed cushions and stitching of the upholstery, the platform chair is crafted entirely by hand.

ABOUT VINTAGE TAILORED TWILL

Twill is an interwoven knit fabric. The thread takes turns in an over and under weave forming a crooked yet overall lineal rectangle pattern that can be discerned at close range. The pattern exists but appears somewhat random when viewed from a normal distance. Vintage Tailored Twill features a finer, tightly tailored flat weave appearance.

Vintage Tailored Twill provides perhaps a more refined, tailored appearance than that of a typical coarse twill. It relies on the multi-tone nature of the fabric strands themselves to provide the appearance of depth of texture.
