Danish Deluxe High-Back Recliner & Matching Ottoman | Sand Leather
A definitive example of Australian Mid-Century Modern design, this reclining armchair and footstool set was manufactured by the renowned Melbourne house, Danish Deluxe. Known for licensing and adapting high-end Scandinavian designs for the Australian market, this piece perfectly balances the robust construction of the 1970s with the sleek, organic lines of the era.
Design & Ergonomics
The chair features a solid timber Tasmanian Blackwood frame — characterised by its geometric solidity and warm, amber tones. The standout feature is the manual reclining mechanism, operated by the distinct timber knob on the side rail, allowing for a seamless transition into a relaxed lounging position. The matching ottoman completes the profile, creating a weightless, floating comfort experience.
Condition & Finish
Presented in remarkable restored condition with Vinatge leather. The upholstery is a buttery soft, sand/cream leather with classic detailing on the seat and armrests. The vintage leather is supple with a consistent colour palette, contrasting beautifully against the timber grain. The foam is supportive, the joinery is tight, and the reclining mechanism functions smoothly.
