Masters Desk Chair Mid Century by James Leonard for Esavian C1950
A rare piece of 1950s education furniture – The Masters Chair designed by James Leonard for Esavian – and we have a desk to match!
“Immediately after the war James Leonard persuaded his boss at the ESA, an eccentric character called Jonny Appleton, to take a trip to Scandinavia in his Bentley. Through this journey James Leonard was able to facilitate the epiphany necessary to convince Appleton that modern Scandinavian design was just what the company needed. The trip resulted in James Leonard’s radical designs for the new aluminium range.
A great looking design in pressed aluminium and surviving in good order. We have day to day wear to the frames but no cracks or repairs. The green vinyl seat does have a 1cm hole but is perfectly usable, our upholsterer would be happy to replace the seat for £65 plus materials. We would assume that someone painted the arms black like people did in the old days! and the wood is peeping though.
A fab looking desk chair - we have the matching desk!
