Lion Arm Chair

Description

The Lion Arm Chair was inspired by the work of Diego Giacometti (1902-1985). Diego was a Swiss sculptor and furniture designer, and the younger brother of sculptor Alberto Giacometti. After business studies in Basel and Saint-Gall, he followed the advice of his mother Annetta and went to Paris to join his brother Alberto, then a student of the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle at the Academy of the Grande Chaumière. The working relationship of Diego with Alberto was so close that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the work of Diego from that of Alberto.

The Lion Arm Chair is entirely handmade of steel. The lion head and feet are solid bronze castings. The seat cushion has 8-way hand-tied springs which will not sag even after decades of use. Standard upholstery material is black or brown calf leather. We also offer upholstery in COM. Robust metal construction allows this chair to support heavy loads without flexing. With its European style timeless elegance, the Lion Arm Chair is designed for use in upscale residential and hospitality interiors. It is offered in a variety of finishes. Custom sizing is available.
