Pair of Vintage Preview Accent Chairs on Brass Caster Wheels
$6,200.00Sophisticated “Preview” arm chairs designed in the late 1980s / early 1990s. Preview, a division of Wieman Furniture of Hickory North Carolina, gained acclaim in the late 1980s-1990s when Vladimir Kagan designed several lines for them. These are not confirmed as Kagan designs, though they resemble a similar model of seating.
Very uncommon examples whose modest, streamlined design provides an elegant aesthetic without compromising comfort. The cushioned high back and slim arm rests offer sufficient support, and the small, brass caster wheels allow for easy mobility.
Retain the original light taupe / pale gray cotton ribbed upholstery, which has been professionally cleaned but shows one snag to the bottom of one of the chairs along with very light, general wear.
Manufacturer’s fabric tag present to one of the chairs.
Measures: H: 34.5″ x L: 23.25″ x D: 24.5″
Arm Height: 24.88″

Pair of Vintage Preview Lounge Chairs
$4,800.00Postmodern “Preview” lounge chairs manufactured in the 1980s. Preview, a division of Wieman Furniture of Hickory North Carolina, gained acclaim in the late 1980s-1990s when Vladimir Kagan designed several lines for them. These are not confirmed as Kagan designs, though they resemble a similar model of seating.
Exceedingly durable and comfortable with a densely cushioned seat and back rest with stylish, thick armrests which have a ‘floating-like” appearance. All supported by ebonized block feet.
Upholstery was likely redone in the 1990s. The fabric and foam are sound, but the pair could benefit from a re-do in a less busy fabric tautly applied to to better defines its crisp lines.
One chair retains the manufacturer label.
Measures: H: 28.5″ top of frame alone / 32.5″ including the cushion x L: 36″ x D: 36.5″

Pair of Vintage Solid Walnut Studio Craft Bar Stools by David Scott
$3,600.00Pair of New Hope-Style walnut bar stools manufactured by David Scott in 1982.

Sculpted, dense, triangular seats atop spindle foot rests and splayed legs with carved foot detail. Foot rests are connected to the legs with circular dowel joints in rosewood, an expert technique revealing the skill involved.
Small edge-fills are original to the stools; lightly refinished condition, maintaining the original color.
Signed and dated to reverse.

Pair of Vintage Studio Craft Windsor-Style Three Legged Low Stools in Cherrywood
$1,800.00Pair of cherry wood studio craft low stools executed in a Windsor-Style (ca. 1970s, USA). Designed by a woodworker out of Syracuse, New York “WHP” about whom little is known.
Composed of three bamboo-style legs fitted with ‘t form’ stretchers and seats whose surfaces slope down at the front conforming to the body’s curves, while still aiding in good posture by tilting the pelvis forward, allowing the spine to sit properly aligned.
Using typical modern Windsor Chair joinery, the tops of the legs are tapered and fit onto similarly tapered holes cut into the seat using no screws or nails in the construction.
One nick to one of the stools along with one scuff (both subtle but shown in the last two images). Overall, very fine condition.
Due to the hand-made nature of these stools, there is a slight dimensional disparity between the two:
Stool One – H: 22.63″ x L: 16.25″ (leg to leg) x D: 18.75″ (leg to leg) x Seat Height: 20.5″ (front edge)
Stool Two – H: 22.75″ x L: 16″ (leg to leg) x D: 22″ (leg to leg) x Seat Height: 21.5″ (front edge)
Seat specs are the same for both:
Seat Length: 15″
Seat Depth 12″.
Petite Danish Teak Slipper Chair by Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen for Søborg -3 Available
$2,200.00Small-scale/low profile teak easy / slipper chair model 501/ ‘Japan’ designed by Kai Lyngfeldt Larsen for Søborg Møbler (ca. 1960s, Denmark). Three available – sold individually.
Composed of a teak frame with slanted slat-back construction flanked by deeply sculpted, dense, cylindrical stretchers at both top and bottom, offering sharp, dramatic lines.
The back and seat cushion are adjoined by two sewn in straps (only two of the three chairs retain the original cushions – one chair is cushion-less). The cushions are an easy upholstery job requiring little fabric and foam – the fabric for the two chairs is usable, as is, though a less busy fabric would better accentuate the clean lines of the chair.
There are a few scuffs to the newly refinished teak frames (most notably, a series of scuffs to the top stretcher of one of the chairs, as shown). The fabric for two of the three chairs is usable, though a few light marks remain. The foam is thin by design, and, subsequently, the cushions are not cushy.
Retain the “Søborg Møbler Made in Denmark” manufacturer labels to the reverse.
Relatively small in scale: H 27.38″ x L 21.38″ x D 28.25″
Seat height (lowest point where the backrest meets the seat) including cushion: 12″ / without cushion: 10.5″
Seat / knee height (edge) including cushion: 14″ / without cushion: 13″

Postmodern Leather “Wave” Chaise by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti
$9,500.00Fully restored postmodern leather “Onda” or “Wave” Chaise designed in 1974 by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti, (Milan, Italy).

Additionally, the luxe leather is incredibly soft and, with the addition of not only new LX-45 cotton wrapped foam core but also Dacron batting, provides optimal comfort.
The color of the leather resembles that of a number 2 pencil (orange / yellow tone).
Retains its original “Saporiti Italia” metal manufacturer’s tag.
Newly upholstered in leather, steel has been cleaned.
Overall, excellent, vintage condition.
