Creating a Mid Century Dining Suite

Remaining faithful to the mid century era, a client requested we design and make a Lounge Suite that lends itself to the characteristics of this era

Design Features had to include;

Functionality; form following function

An cluttered feel, sleek lines with both organic and geometric forms and minimal ornamentation.

Initial conceps were drawn up by Stuart so that the client could get a “feel” for what the end product would be

We chose Tasmanian Oak for this elegant 2 Seater and 2 single chairs

Mid Century glory 2 Single seaters

Elegant classic lines

Timeless beauty

Stunning fabric selection

Our client very astutely chose 2 fabrics, a bold geometric print for the two single chairs and a clasic textured Navy for the 3 seater.

The end result is an elegant yet practical lounge that wont “date” and will remain a firm family favourite in the home for years to come.
