Description
An exceptional pair of Mid-Century Modern slipper lounge chairs attributed to celebrated American furniture designer Harvey Probber (1922–2003), circa 1965. Distinguished by their sculptural silhouettes, richly patterned upholstery, and architectural metal frames, these chairs exemplify the sophisticated modernist aesthetic that defines collectible American designer furniture of the mid-20th century.
Of particular significance, an identical chair is featured in an encyclopedia article on Harvey Probber, providing a compelling visual reference for the design and its association with the celebrated American furniture designer. The published example shares the distinctive combination of a generously proportioned, button-tufted seat, cylindrical upholstered backrest, and geometric exposed metal frame seen on this pair. This documented visual correspondence adds historical interest and strengthens the case for the proposed attribution.
Each chair features a broad, deeply tufted seat upholstered in striking rust-orange paisley fabric. The intricate textile introduces warmth, pattern, and visual richness, contrasting beautifully with the clean architectural lines of the polished metal frame. The cylindrical backrest creates a distinctive profile, while the low, armless configuration emphasizes the chairs’ sculptural modernist form.
The exposed metal frames provide an elegant counterpoint to the substantial upholstery, lending the chairs a visually light, floating appearance. This juxtaposition of geometric structure and decorative fabric makes the pair particularly appealing to collectors of American Mid-Century Modern furniture and interior designers seeking distinctive vintage seating.

- Good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use. The upholstery retains its distinctive rust-orange paisley pattern and deep button tufting. The metal frames exhibit some minor scuffing and one or two areas of light pitting, consistent with age. These imperfections do not detract significantly from the chairs’ overall aesthetic appeal. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed representation of their present condition.
