While this costs a pretty penny and then some, it sure is something. It reminds me of Jacobsen’s
Egg Chair, just more edgy/angular.

“characterized by angular lines, this armchair is constructed of a steel
frame covered with injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam and
polyester fiber. the base consists of a lacquered steel tube, in rifle
brown and gray, and the footrest is chrome. comes in three different
styles: armchair, revolving armchair, and armchair with footrest.”

armchair: 30.3″w x 43.3″h x 35.3″d, $2,932.00
armchair with footrest: 30.3″w x 43.3″h x 49.5″d, $3,807.00
revolving armchair: 31.5″w x 43.3″h x 34.8″d, $4,026.00
revolving stool: 25.5″w x 13.8″h x 24.8″d, $1,723.00

reinterpreted ornamentation in a fresh, minimal style for the
contemporary home. Attention to detail makes this collection
distinctive and unique – from the rich hand of the fabrics to the
addition of trim and fine tailoring.”

Draper Stripe Ash Standard Shams (pair), $77.00
Draper Stripe Ash Euro Square Cases (pair), $88.00
