1990s

By the time the 1990s hit, the exuberant post-modernist spirit had faded. Designers searched for a much more purposeful approach to design with greater depth and meaning. Some of the designers turned to past styles and drew out elements to incorporate into their new designs.

Maple and leather

This particular chair is known for its one piece frame and armrests made of carved maple which has a cantilevered form.  The saddle-style seat is of stitched leather. It merges Modernism, Post-moderism and Bauhaus together in a manner that is very bold and extravagant. It is amazing as it acts as a beautiful sculptural piece as well as a chair, although this particularly chair is fundamentally informed by function.
