Restored Australian Mid-Century Armchair by Van Treight

Van Treight was one of Australia's respected mid-century furniture manufacturers, producing designs recognised for their understated forms, quality materials, and Scandinavian-inspired influences.

Operating from Sydney for more than five decades, Van Treight became known for furniture that combined modernist design principles with Australian craftsmanship. The brand also produced pieces under licence for the US market through Drexel, reflecting the quality and international appeal of its designs.

This armchair showcases the qualities associated with Van Treight furniture: beautifully shaped Tasmanian Blackwood timber, balanced proportions, and functional elegance. The restored frame and new chenille upholstery allow this piece to continue as a practical and distinctive addition to contemporary interiors.
