NOW SOLD Vintage TEAK LOUNGE CHAIR Danish MODERN Style RETRO Eames R HUBER
NOW SOLD For sale here is a fantastic Vintage Teak Lounge / Arm Chair, made by the R.Huber company in Canada. From what I have discovered after speaking to some collectors of Canadian Mid-Century pieces and some online research R.Huber imported Danish Made pieces as well as manufacturing their own quality Danish style teak pieces as well. I do not know the exact year it was made, but I believe it to have been in the late 1960’s (as there is a label with a 1968 date on it) I also believe that the upholstery is original to the piece. The upholstery is in nice vintage condition. No stains, tears or holes. The inner foam of the seat cushion is still soft and spongy, the foam of back cushion is spongy, but has started to harden at the edges a bit. You can replace the inner foam yourself fairly easily as both removable cushions have zippers and the inner foam can be removed (I have taken this into account in the pricing) The solid teak legs, and horse shoe shaped wrap around teak accent at the top are in fantastic shape, having taken on a glowing patina that can only be found with well cared for vintage pieces such as this one. The flowing rounded organic lines and low sleek profile make this an eye catching piece. The Chair measures as follows, 34 inches at its widest point, 36 inches back to front. The seat cushion is 16 inches tall at the knee and the back cushion is 30 inches tall.
