The Viking Armchair, designed by John Van Treight in the 1960s, is a standout piece from the Van Treight collection. Its slatted back and sculpted armrests exemplify mid-century modern elegance. This example has been fully restored—disassembled, clamped and reglued—and the blackwood has been finished with Danish oil and a wax rub to protect and accentuate the natural grain. The cushions have been reupholstered in Sustainable Living Fabrics’ Ecostyle range in the colour Waterpond, chosen to complement the timber and overall design.
