Pair Daffodil Lounge Chairs by Erwin & Estelle Laverne

Creator: Laverne International
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A pair of "Daffodil" Lucite lounge chairs by designed by Erwin & Estelle Laverne for Laverne International. One of the models of the Invisible Group introduced circa 1960, these chairs were a wonderful experiment using molded acrylic as a new creative material for furniture design. The chair retains its original faux fur seat cushion. Organic and ergonomic, the seamless form nods to the shape of flowers as the name indicates. Glamorous and surprisingly comfortable
