Description
When we think of the middle of the twentieth-century we think of three things; Hollywood, Hollywood and more Hollywood. It was the golden era of on-screen glamour, care- free beauty and luxury. This is precisely where the Greta finds its inspiration, incorporating the modernity of the mid-century and acknowledging that that era is now behind us. Somewhat resembling a director’s chair, this piece is sure to take the lead in any dining room as it demands our visual attention. Simplicity is the order of the day when it comes to the Greta dining chair.
Through a symmetrical balancing act, this chair combines bold shapes in an assured harmony that only mastery can achieve. It is this mastery that gives this piece its sense of luxury, its bold colour appears certain of its class amongst its structural prowess. As a director holds the vision of a feature film together, the solid black lacquered wood base of this chair elevates the shapes and colours that sit on top of it through its clarity. Whilst it is nearly brutally modern in its diagonal shapes, the base of this piece is finished delicately with polished brass that capture the glamour afforded to those leaders of the silver screen, who were so assured in their own beauty.
