Produced by Kroehler Manufacturing Company in the United States during the 1960s, this Avant lounge chair captures the more expressive side of American Mid-Century Modern seating. Its low proportions, sculptural profile, and integrated arms create a distinctly architectural silhouette while maintaining the generous comfort associated with Kroehler’s upholstered furniture.
The defining feature is the continuous curvature of the arms. Rising organically from the sides of the seat before sweeping toward the backrest, they give the chair a fluid profile with very little visual interruption. The upholstered volume is balanced by slender tapered walnut legs, which lift the substantial body away from the floor and give the design a lighter stance.
Kroehler was one of the major American furniture manufacturers of the twentieth century, producing a broad range of upholstered furniture for the postwar domestic market. The Avant line reflects the company’s engagement with the more sculptural vocabulary of American modern furniture during the 1960s, combining expressive upholstered forms with restrained wooden supports.
This example is upholstered in a textured patterned fabric that complements the chair’s curved form and warm walnut legs. The chair is presented in vintage condition, with age and wear consistent with use.
Its compact footprint makes it particularly adaptable as an occasional, reading, or lounge chair.
Please note: The listing price is for ONE lounge chair. A second matching Kroehler Avant lounge chair is also available for purchase separately at the same price. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing both chairs.
