A pair of modern Danish lounge chairs by Lawrence Peabody — luxury bouclé lounge chairs hand-built by the artisans at Craft Associates® and offered through The Swanky Abode, our curated home for modern, top-end design. An oak frame is paired with plush white bouclé upholstery for a look that is at once organic, modern, and unmistakably luxurious.

Each chair is handcrafted and upholstered to order in the USA with hand-cut, high-density foam. The hardwood base is built by hand, not machine, and finished to last. This design belongs to the Holiday Series that Lawrence Peabody first drew for Selig in the early 1950s.

"The U.S. would profit by the example of the Danes, whose great work in furniture design is the result of combining proficient craftsmanship, fine design and technical skill. The Danes do more than sell arts and crafts in their distinguished work — they sell Denmark." — Lawrence Peabody, 1957

This Suelo® Modern Side Chair is beautifully constructed from solid wood in Ohio, USA. The lounge chair's silhouette is simple, modern, and sleek with comfortable back and seat cushions. This is the perfect chair for any space, indoor or outdoor. The Suelo® Collection consists of an arm chair, side chair, bench, daybed, loveseat, ottoman, dining chairs - both arm and side, and multiple orientations of sofas/sectionals for indoor or outdoor use. You can get any Suelo® piece in a solid or slatted version. This specific wood species is for indoor only; please contact for outdoor options. Price includes high-grade leather in the color of your choice and finish of your choice - natural, grey-wash, walnut, and black. Multiple fabric colors available.

Designer Inspiration: "The Suelo® Collection was inspired by my love for travel. So many places that inspire me have very minimal furniture, often built-in sofas with big comfy cushions, hammocks, raw natural wood, etc. The feel is low-key, simple, and comfortable. The wood isn't refined, it just IS. Functionality always plays into my designs as well, represented here by lower seating for a more intimate talking or lounging environment, and the platform wood extension detail on the sofa, which makes a great little table for your drink or cell phone. I envision this furniture used for indoor/outdoor spaces or any room that needs some comfort or relief. The Suelo® line reminds me of your own getaway - it has a natural, cool vibe and doesn't take itself too seriously. I imagine the sofa loaded up with pillows and some music playing in the background, of course." -Gretta Jones

The Selig is a modern luxury lounge chair — a Lawrence Peabody design reintroduced under license by Craft Associates®, the artisan manufacturer, and offered here through The Swanky Abode, our curated marketplace for modern, top-end furniture. Its low, easy proportions and sculptural solid-walnut base trace back to the collection Peabody created for Selig Manufacturing, the partnership that first put his modern furniture on the map.

Every chair is made to order in the United States. The hardwood frame is built by hand rather than by machine, seated on high-density foam that is hand-cut for a clean, tailored line. The walnut base is shaped by artisans and finished with a hand-applied oil or commercial-grade finish, and the frame breaks down and ships flat. The result is a handcrafted lounge chair meant to stand the test of time.

The price reflects a COM price (client's own material). If you provide the fabric, there is no additional charge for upholstery.

about the designer

Lawrence Peabody, an architect, interior designer, and furniture designer, was born in 1924 in Haverhill, MA. Mr. Peabody often preferred the name "Larry" instead of Lawrence although he tended to use the name Lawrence professionally. He was known to be a flaming extrovert and was rarely reserved in his opinions. He had a clear love of design even choosing the Navy because he liked the uniforms. After serving in WWII he was able to take advantage of the GI Bill. This allowed him to study at the Rhode Island School of Design. At RSID he was heavily influenced by Ernst Lichtblau who was part of the Austrian Werbund. At the time there was a heavy Bauhaus influence due to many Europeans who had fled to the US for WWII. After RISD the story goes that he wandered around Europe and ended up taking courses at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. While there he met his wife Bette who he wed in 1952. She was originally from Norway, a bit older and extremely interesting in her own right. She was part of the Danish resistance during the war, helping out as a nurse. She had also studied psychology and was a teacher. During a trip to Haiti, Lawrence became friends with Dewitt Peters, the founder of Haiti's Le Centre d'Art. Together they promoted interest in primitive Haitian art by corresponding with museums overseas. Lawrence bought a beautiful home in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti in which he split his time later in life.

history

Percival Lafer is one of the most prolific Brazilian furniture designers from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. He was born in 1936, and graduated with a degree in Architecture from Universidade Mackenzie in São Paulo. Ironically, Lafer never intended to be a furniture designer. Upon graduating college, he had to take up, along with his brothers, his late father's furniture company, Lafer. Although his passion was architecture, he transitioned well info furniture design to make sure the company was successful.

When he began making furniture in 1961, his vision was to "bring good design to everyone, not just the intellectual elite" with modern, well-made pieces that were mass-produced. "Percival’s furniture not only captured the modern aesthetic of the moment, but was exquisitely crafted using gorgeous, solid hardwoods that were novel to U.S. consumers." With burnished leather upholstery and meticulous finishing details, Lafer’s pieces were also big sellers in Western Europe and Scandinavia.

Percival Lafer's work has always been marked by boldness and originality. For him, each project should reflect the state of the art applied to innovative ideas. Through all of successes, he still doesn’t necessarily consider himself a furniture designer: "I love to make physical objects, and I’m constantly thinking about all the ways I can improve them."
