Chair with armrests Alivar Mvsevm 185 – Oliver Percy Bernard

Description

This english chair has a complicated pedigree. It is a discendant of a similar chair with a thinner seat designed in 1928 by Wassily and Hands Luckhardt and used in their home on the Ruppenhorn. The chair of the Luckhardt was first produced by Desta (Deutsche Stahlmobel), a company founded by Anton Lorenz in 1929. When Desta was liquidated in 1933, all the designs were sold to Thonet who sold this model as SS33. A varation of this model with a single rod in the back (attributed to Lorenz) was also sold by Desta and, then, by Thonet. This present chair is a reworking of the Luckhardts’ chair by Oliver Percy Bernard during his short association (1931-1933) with Pel Ltd., London (SP4). In 1982 it was reintroduced by Sheridan Coakley as part of his collection of classics. Chair with armrests in chrome-plated or painted tubular steel. Padded seat and back in fabric or leather.
