Arthur Umanoff Armchair in Wrought Iron and Rattan

Rare high-back armchair by American designer Arthur Umanoff, dating to 1958. The sculptural chair combines a slender black steel frame with tightly woven natural rattan across the seat, tall back and broad arms. The dramatic proportions and expressive use of natural and industrial materials are characteristic of Umanoff’s contribution to American mid-century modern design.
