A rarer and beautifully proportioned pair of mid-century armchairs by Parker Knoll, celebrated for their enduring craftsmanship and exceptional comfort. England, circa 1960s
This particular model is less commonly seen, defined by its gently reclined backrest, refined arm profile, and elegant tapered legs. The silhouette is both sculptural and inviting, offering that perfect balance between supportive structure and relaxed lounge comfort that Parker Knoll became known for.
The chosen fabric elevates the form beautifully, adding vibrancy while remaining sophisticated. The warm golden hue works effortlessly against the restored timber legs, highlighting the chair’s elegant mid-century lines.
These armchairs are ideal as a matched lounge set, opposite a sofa, or positioned as sculptural accents in a reading corner or formal sitting room.
