Pair of Pink Bouclé Post-Modern Swivel Club Chairs by Directional, 1980s, Signed
This gorgeous and very unique pair of swiveling club chairs have been newly reupholstered in a soft and nubby pink bouclé fabric, both chairs signed with Directional labels and produced in circa 1980s.
The design is quite rare - we have only seen one other example which also had Directional labels, but we have not been able to confirm whether this design was by Milo Baughman or Vladimir Kagan, who both designed for Directional and this design shares many qualities with. Another similar design to this is the Michael Wolk 'Miami' chair.
The very nubby and very soft pink bouclé is the best we have found, and we have spent a few years now trying many different makers of bouclé fabric. This particular maker has the nubbiest pile and softest hand-feel, we believe this is the most attractive looking and the best feeling bouclé fabric that is out there. And the pink color is absolutely perfect - while it is definitely a soft, perhaps 'Rose' pink and not a 'hot pink' by any means - it still has incredible vibrancy and tonality.
This pair of swivel chairs have beautiful sweeping curves - the shapes and silhouettes are what interior designers dream of, especially these days with Organic Modern and Post Modern styles so on-trend. While there are a number of other club lounge chairs on the market, such as the Corkscrew and Nautilus chairs, both by Vladimir Kagan for Directional - what this pair of club chairs have that others don't is the rarity. It's great to include some classic designs in your client's interior - but isn't it amazing to include something that they, you, and others haven't seen before? When you are shooting for an interior design magazine photo-cover, give it that eye-catching wow factor by including this rare and rarely seen design by 1980s Directional Furniture. And given how rare these are, buy them while they are still available and before your competition does.
This pair of Directional labelled swivel easy chairs would work great in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as side chairs, dining, cafe or breakfast table chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, conference room chairs, office or desk guest chairs, lobby lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting.
