The price is for the pair
A rare and beautifully proportioned pair of mid-century armchairs by Parker Knoll, England, circa 1960s, celebrated for their enduring craftsmanship, elegant lines and deeply comfortable sit.
Less commonly seen than some of the maker’s better known models, this pair carries a refined silhouette defined by softly reclined backs, gently winged sides and sculpted armrests that taper seamlessly into the frame. Raised on elegant, restored timber legs, the profile feels light and architectural while still offering the comfort Parker Knoll became so highly regarded for.
Freshly reimagined, the chairs have been upholstered in a striking lemon-buttercup yellow geometric-patterned fabric that brings a bold yet considered energy to the design. The angular pattern introduces a contemporary edge while subtly echoing the clean lines of the mid-century form, creating a beautiful tension between vintage craftsmanship and fresh modern styling.
Wonderfully versatile, they work beautifully as a matching lounge pair, opposite a sofa, in a reading corner, bedroom retreat or as sculptural accent seating in a more formal living space.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.

All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.
