Vintage Mid-Century Modern Plydesigns Bentwood Leather Lounge Chair

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Plydesigns Bentwood Leather Lounge Chair — Canada, c. 1970s

A striking vintage Mid-Century Modern lounge chair by Plydesigns of Orono, Ontario, dating to circa the 1970s. The sculptural design reflects the Scandinavian influence found throughout Canadian modern furniture of the period.

The chair features a dark bentwood frame with sweeping curves extending from the high back into its distinctive four-point base. A generously padded black leather seat and back are suspended within the frame using leather straps and exposed metal hardware, creating its characteristic relaxed, floating silhouette.

Deep button tufting and an oversized padded headrest give the chair a rich, dimensional appearance. The combination of black leather, dark laminated wood and exposed hardware creates a sophisticated architectural presence.

The chair retains its original Plydesigns manufacturer labels, identifying it as made by Plydesigns in Orono, Ontario, Canada. Known for its work with molded and laminated plywood, Plydesigns was part of Canada’s postwar modern furniture industry.

Beautifully preserved with age-appropriate patina consistent with its vintage character. An uncommon piece of Canadian Mid-Century Modern design suitable for both collected vintage and contemporary interiors.
