Looks like an Adrian Pearsall wing chair. Beautiful.

It's an Adrian Pearsall wing chair (http://adrianpearsall.com/2231C.pdf) plus new upholstery (and tufting? I don't think I've ever seen a tufted one before); you can either spend a lot of money on 1stdibs or try hunting around a bit :)

This is such a beautiful chair! Scott, thanks for posting!

I believe that modlivin.com has one.. I saw it at the modernisim show in Denver a few weeks back. Jill is the owner she is great give her a call. I think they were asking $1200

Sadly, Pearsall just died two weeks ago...

his house in New Hope, PA.

@fleo
If it's not tufted, how does the upholstery stay on? I mean, what is the technology involved, I'm not doubting the truth of what you're saying. ^^;

@lepidoptery Lots of tacks and lots of skill.

Actually, lepidoptery, the truth of what I'm saying is rather flawed ^^ I looked closer, and it turns out Pearsall wing chairs are almost exclusively tufted - I just keep seeing them in really busy patterns that do a good job of hiding buttons. Shame on me :(

(But as for your question, and since there are tufting-less wingbacks in the world, I'm guessing hardcore spray adhesive :D And making sure the fabric is pulled /extremely/ tight and high in the actual back area.)

(Wow, forgot to add a comment.) Those are the same exact chairs in the link above. Good luck hunting one down!

I think they are called Papa Bear Chairs.

@fleo
Spray adhesive... how unsexy. ಠ_ಠ Though that would be fitting for the ikea tirup, I guess. (Yes, I am that person, the one that brings ikea into every conversation... if that person does not exist, I have just invented her, and she is I! OK, I'm not actually that bad, but the tirup was on my mind when I saw this post.)

@threeacres
(Surely not? There's a lot more exposed wood in the other ones, and... everything else is also different.)

@nycagnes
Unless the papa bear chairs have lots of iterations, the ones I'm used to are creepier, with arms outstretched for groping. Basically.

I'm curious-- has anyone here actually sat in one of these? It is a seriously beautiful chair to look at--maybe I should keep my aesthetically challenged comfy chair and just pose this one across the room for ogling purposes? It just looks like it zigs everywhere that I zig, when what I would want is for it to zag.
or should I not even be asking such a question of an "art chair"?

@lepidoptery:
Ah. but no! Look closely: the dreaded Tirup has a parallel stitch in the middle (which is a far more common way of avoiding buttons on curved chairs than gluing and hoping :D).

@fleo
That stitch is enough? It seems like the leather pieces (and fabric in the fabric version) still curve with the seat in ways the stitches shouldn't account for... o.O

@thatkris
I have an Adrian Pearsall chair similar to this in my living room and it has the very same angled curve. It is quite possibly the most comfortable chair in the house. The angle makes you feel as if you are reclining without actually being a recliner, quite a genius concept!
