Armchair Alivar Mvsevm 611 – Jean Michel Frank

Description

This armchair type was a favorite of Jean Michel Frank. However, the basic frame was not invented by Frank nor by his partner Charnaux. Armchairs of a similar structure frequently appear in photographs of interiors of the early and mid 1920’s. Around 1926, Syrie Maugham, the wife of Somerset Maugham and a successful decorator, was using the same basic armchair type with a slip cover and loose back cushions and without trapezoidal wooden feet. Certainly, Frank was not a furniture designer in the strict sense in that he was not interested in developing a model with precise, fixed dimensions or set proportions which could be mass-produced and used in various decoration schemes. Armchair in wood covered with polyurethane foam and polyester fiber lining. Feet in painted or wax-polished italian walnut. Seat cushion in sterilized feathers with insert in polyurethane foam. Removable cover.
