This stunning pair of mid-century lounge chairs showcases the refined elegance associated with the Antimott series by Wilhelm Knoll, Germany, circa 1960s. With its clean lines, sculpted arms, and low-slung profile, it closely matches verified international examples, right down to the hardware, joinery, floating seat design, and proportions.
The solid teak frames have been meticulously restored to reveal the full depth and lustrous beauty of the wood’s natural grain, enhancing its rich, sculptural presence. The seating has been elegantly reupholstered in a refined two-tone composition: a regal old gold velvet wraps the back and sides, while the front features an exclusive Hertex “Editeur” fabric—an elegant weave of old gold and cream that evokes timeless sophistication. The result is a masterful interplay of texture, tone, and tailored refinement, where warmth meets couture-level comfort.
A rare and timeless pair - ideal for collectors and design enthusiasts who value authentic craftsmanship and enduring style.
While there are no visible maker’s marks, the design and construction bear all the hallmarks of Antimott production. We cannot entirely rule out a similar-era, European, or SA manufacturer, but the details strongly support this attribution.
