Description

A set of three low, prototype lounge chairs by American designer Max Gottschalk. The chairs are made of metal pipes and thick brown leather.

Gottschalk's most productive artistic period was in Arizona, from the 1950s to his death in 2005.

His artistic interests included Mid-Century Modern industrial design, which combined "natural" materials like leather with production materials such as aluminum and steel. The result was beautifully proportioned work that embraced and embodied both the Southwestern aesthetic and modern design principles. Gottschalk often worked with leather that was irregular and flawed, celebrating the material's imperfections.
