Jacques Adnet “President” leatherette armchair 1959

Creator: Jacques Adnet
Offered by: Maison Cedric

Description
This desk armchair named President designed in 1959 by French designer Jacques Adnet is a rare, exciting find. Upholstered in high-quality leatherette, this armchair is emblematic of Adnet’s philosophies in furniture design. It is exceedingly functional, with comfort being of utmost importance, and display Adnet’s signature clean lines and geometry. The thick armrests attach the back to the chair at an acute angle for a strikingly modern look. The legs match the chair in color and gleam but offer a balancing contrast in shape—they’re quite thin compared to the robust chair design. Moreover, the chair is sturdy and of significant weight, an indication of its quality construction and materials. A pinnacle of Mid-century modern design.
