Lean Back is an elegant, reclining lounge chair in 1950s design, created by the acclaimed Danish furniture designer, Arne Hovmand-Olsen. Despite the lightness and an almost floating expression, the lounge chair is incredibly comfortable to sit in, perfect for long conversations around the coffee table or immersion in the world of books and magazines. The solid wood armrests are so elegantly designed that their soft sway could almost be mistaken for leather. What is particularly special about the design of the Lean Back lounge chair is that it looks beautiful from any angle, so it can stand freely in a room. The lounge chair comes with upholstered seat cushions in beautiful shades for a more courageous look or with leather seat cushions for a completely classic expression. Choose from exclusive upholstery fabrics or canvas from the likes of Kvadrat in carefully selected shades from the Warm Nordic universe, or the highest quality leather. The frame of the Lean Back chair is available in several exclusive types of wood.

This particular armchair, the F51, was designed by Gropius for his office at the Dessau Bauhaus. Widely studied, the F51 chair is a particular favorite of architects and designers. Its bold look dominates any environment.
Walter Gropius was a German architect and founder of Bauhaus. Along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, he is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of "modern" architecture.
In 1908 Gropius found employment with the firm of Peter Behrens, one of the first members of the utilitarian school. His fellow employees at this time included Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Dietrich Marcks. In 1910 Gropius left the firm of Behrens, and together with fellow employee Adolf Meyer, established a practice in Berlin, where he remained until the onset of World War I. In 1919, Gropius was appointed the Master the Grand-Ducal Saxon School of Arts and Crafts in Weimar. It was this academy which Gropius transformed into the world-famous Bauhaus, attracting a faculty which included Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Wassily Kandinsky. Students collaborated on the use of modern and innovative materials and mass-produced fittings, often originally intended for industrial settings, to create original furniture and buildings.
With the help of the English architect Maxwell Fry, Gropius was able to get out of Germany in 1934, on the pretext of making a temporary visit to Britain. Thus he escaped the rising antisemitism in Germany. He lived and worked in Britain, as part of the Isokon group with Fry and others until moving to the United States in 1937.

Antonia Cane Lounge Chair

Onecollection has relaunched the easy chair, Dennie, which was designed by Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel in 1956 for Fritz Hansen. The Dennie Chair is nicely complemented by a footstool and a small table.
Nanna Ditzel, who was one of the most influential modern furniture designers in Denmark, passed away in 2005. Her daughter Dennie, who oversees her parents’ design heritage, asked Onecollection to relaunch the chair which has always held a special place in her mother’s house.
To Dennie, it is her cozy childhood chair, where she sat safely and had stories read out loud to her. The chair, symbolically named Dennie, is available with upholstery in fabric or leather and a frame in chrome or black painted steel. The Dennie Chair combines style with casual comfort. Whether placed in the living room or the office, the curved shape and soft seat create a welcoming vibe that invoke relaxed conversations. Furthermore, an upholstered footstool and a small side table with a white laminate tabletop are part of the Dennie series.

When Finn Juhl first saw this chair he immediately noticed its characteristic back and named it The Peacock Chair - a name which stuck with the chair. Its consciously modern lines are not merely a matter of looks. Rather, the sweeping back with its extravagantly shaped sticks are a feat of ergonomic aesthetics. The flat part of the sticks, which gives it its peacock-like appearance, are placed where the shoulder-blades meet the chair's back.

The Elephant Chair, designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl, is a modern interpretation of Scandinavian minimalism combined with Japanese aesthetics. The design is inspired by Danish upholstered chairs of the 1950’s, while drawing visible characteristics from the already iconic Mammoth Chair. The result is a light and elegant lounge chair where the Elephant ear shaped back gently curves around the body providing superior comfort. The Elephant chair is hand-crafted with a solid oak wood frame. The chair comes in three frame variations; Natural, Dark Stained, Black and Smoked, and can be upholstered with leather, wool and sheepskin. The seat and back are made from the highest quality compression molded oak veneer shells. The two shells are pressed in the same press mold, and surround the body in a light soft curve. The legs are designed as one single profile without any visible joints. This enriches the experience of the material strength and exchange between the light and heavy dimensions; “elegant and simple but sturdy without being clumsy".

American architect and interior designer Warren Platner was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1919. Platner attended Cornell University, graduating with a degree in architecture in 1941. Shortly after, he began working with legendary architects Raymond Loewy and I.M. Pei from 1945 to 1950, and with Eero Saarinen from 1960 to 1965. During this time he was part of the design process of many historically important projects including the Dulles International Airport, in Washington, D.C., the Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center, and several dormitories for Yale University. Platner joined Kevin Roche"s firm as the head of interior design, becoming more involved with interior and industrial design, as he believed that the essence and character of a building"s design should come from within.
In 1967, having gained a wealth of expertise and knowledge from working for architect-design luminaries, Platner decided to open his own firm, Platner Associates. Not limiting itself to architecture, it also experimented in furniture design, lighting, textiles, and interiors. From the late 1960s onwards, he exhibited widely and worked on a variety of interior design and architecture projects, including the interior design of the Ford Foundation headquarters (1967) in New York, the Georg Jensen Design Center (1968) also in New York, the interior to the American Restaurant in Kansas (1974), the interiors for Water Tower Place (1976) in Chicago, and the Windows on the World Restaurant (1976) atop the World Trade Center in New York.
In the 1960s, as the modernist movement became more expressive, Platner focused on a quieter aesthetic, wishing to create more graceful structures. In 1966 Platner, in collaboration with Knoll , unveiled the Platner Collection"a series of sleek modern chairs, ottomans and tables that rest on an intricately sculpted base of cylindrical steel rods replicating a moir pattern. Requiring over 1,000 welds for one piece alone, the complex design is a close marriage of architecture and industrial design. Though Platner designed other pieces, the Platner Collection was his most renowned collection that ultimately made a name for himself in furniture design.

Warren Platner Lounge Chair - Gun Metal Black Base

Eero Saarinen designed the groundbreaking Womb Chair at Florence Knoll's request for "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows... something I could really curl up in."  The Womb Chair and Ottoman (1946) has an enveloping form that continues to be one of the most iconic and recognized representations of mid-century organic modernism. By applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell, Saarinen created a single-piece form that perfectly facilitates a relaxed sitting posture.

The Metz Armchair was named after the Amsterdam based department store Metz & Co. for which Rietveld designed the chair in 1942. As early as in 1932, Metz & Co. asked Rietveld to design a showroom for his furniture on top of their building in Amsterdam. It was in this showroom where Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and later Pol Kjaerholm presented their contemporary designs in the Netherlands for the first time. During the Second World War Rietveld refused to adhere to the German ‘Kulturkammer’, a Nazi-controlled cultural board. As a result of this, he wasn’t allowed to produce the Armchair for Metz & Co. Luckily the drawings and prototypes were preserved and could be used to reconstruct the chair 75 years after its first design. The beautifully crafted frame of the chair was designed with thin slats of oak. The seat consists of an upholstered polyurethane foamed frame with an upholstered comfortable pad. This pad is finished with a blanket stitch that gives this historic design both comfort and a distinguished look.

Throne Lounge Chair With Rattan

Marcel Breuer designed a similar lounge chair to this constructed with aluminum in 1932 and called the style simply "Long Chair". A year later a Swiss furniture company put that chair into production. Not until 1935 did this upgraded Breuer Long Chair surface. It was put into production by The Isokon Company, an English enterprise founded earlier that year which was dedicated to the application of modern functional design to the construction of houses, apartments, and furniture. Breuer was involved with the modification of his "Long Chair" design, and it became a highly successful design for the Isokon Company in the following years.
Breuer’s Long Chair in wood was based upon earlier lounge chairs he had designed from aluminum. This wood version of his lounge chair would require much more work and expense as it cost more to split wood than aluminum. Due to the insufficient supply of aluminum, wood was chosen as the material to be used on the Long Chair.
The first versions of the Breuer Long Chairs from 1935 were quickly modified and improved upon. At least 10 versions of this chair exist, most of which never made it into mass production. Each used a cantilever design with a plywood frame.
