455 Lounge Chair By Gardner Leaver and John Portman for Steelcase

$2,998.00

Designed in 1971 by Gardner Leaver and architect John Portman (the man behind some of America's most dramatic hotel atriums) the Series 455 is what happens when someone who thinks in grand, sweeping spaces decides to make a chair. Heavy nickel-plated steel frame, sculptural curved armrests, cantilevered base, and a low-slung silhouette that somehow manages to look both authoritative and effortlessly cool. These two come in black leather, which is exactly the right choice. The kind of chairs that make the rest of your furniture quietly reconsider its life choices.
