The Athens chair was a finalist in the interior design -Best of Year- awards.
The klismos chair has been evolving for centuries. With the tufted version of the Athens Lounge Chair, Thomas Pheasant pushes that timeless form to the limits of even hand craftsmanship.
Never have its sweeping silhouette and lean frame been so exaggerated. Or so modern.
The wood frame of the Athens Chair sets off the fabric, and it makes for a great view from all angles. Now fully evolved, it also allows for the depth and pitch essential to having comfort without heft. Custom cast, ribbed Bronze collars and capitals give the Athens a certain volume to its voice.
The chair is upholstered in a grayish leather.
