Vintage Original Walter Lamb S Chaise Lounge Chair, Model C-4700 ca. 1955 Chaise lounge with tubular copper/bronze frames with patina designed by Walter Lamb in the 1950s. The model C-4700 has an S-shaped frame that flows beautifully from the arms and back down to the legs. This vintage piece has the original rope weaving that has been cleaned and left as original as possible. The patinated frame is a gorgeous color, showing the true intention of the piece. Measures Height: 33″, Width: 24″, Length 69″, Seat Height: 12.5″
Walter Lamb (1901-1980) lived in Hawaii in the 1940s where he experienced the consequences the attack of Pearl Harbor has caused. Lamb took salvaged metals and reused them to design his outdoor furniture, as an “inventive recycler” as Elle Decoration called it in an article in 2017. He reused bronze, copper and metal that were left behind from the military and sculpted the frames of his pieces with cord as the seating material. Lamb’s designs are characterized by lightness and liquidity and materials that get admirable patina over time. The successful collaboration between Lamb and Brown Jordan started in the 1950s.
