Creator: Edward Wormley - Dunbar
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
Can be customized with new upholstery*

An iconic lounge chair by Edward Wormley for Dunbar, Model 4872A, showcasing Wormley’s rare talent for balancing modern clarity with quiet luxury. This piece is all clean geometry and tailored proportion, but it’s the details that really tell the story: the weight and integrity of its heavy-duty hardwood frame, the refined pitch of the back, and the sculptural legs in solid brass that bring a subtle gleam and unmistakable sophistication.

The chair is upholstered in a warm, velvety pile with a rich, tonal depth that catches the light just so. The cushions are generously filled for lasting comfort, supported by Wormley’s superior construction that has helped Dunbar pieces endure for generations. These chairs were built in a time when furniture wasn’t just made—it was engineered.

Why it’s special:
• Designed by Edward Wormley for Dunbar, Model 4872A
• Solid brass legs, elegantly tapered with a satin-aged patina
• Heavy-duty interior construction — built to last decades
• Timeless mid-century silhouette with tailored, architectural lines
• Comfortable, supportive seating with a grounded, substantial feel

This is the kind of lounge chair that upgrades a room without raising its voice—sophisticated, understated, and unmistakably high-end. A beautiful example of American modernism at its best.
