Stag party
Friday 17 June 2011
Having not posted for one whole week the pressure's on to find something a bit special. Gulp! Can we pull it off? Does it really matter? Um, no! But here's some deliciousness we spotted over on a well-known auction website that caught our beady little eyes - a pair of S.725 Goble chairs manufactured by Stag Furniture. The name Stag Furniture and that of its most well-known designers, John and Sylvia Reid, go hand-in-hand - however, neither Reid designed the Goble chair. So who did? Huh? Huh?

That a stunning chair without a doubt, but are you really going to leave me wondering who designed the chair?
ReplyDeleteJust a hint would do....
Those are great chairs, and I'm dying to know who designed them. Yes, a hint, please...
ReplyDeleteHello Chairsmith,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing about my chairs. I've just found out they are by Dorothy and Paul Goble, designed in 1962:

They are indeed really nice chairs. The only place I've seen them before is in Erno Goldfinger's Willow Rd home:

The pair on ebay have sold, but I've actually got another pair of the chairs.
Many thanks again,
Ben

ReplyDeleteMid-Century Home: Ahhhhhhh!
I've got one of those - it was in my father's house. I remember it from the 1960s. I've sent you an e-mail with a picture. The cushions look a bit sad and flat now but it's always been a really comfy chair. :))
