The Griffith Lounge Chair is a mid-century lounge seat with an honest, open wood frame and generous upholstered cushions. Angled legs and flat, extended arms form a light, architectural cradle around a deep seat cushion and a tall, squared back, so the chair looks substantial without feeling bulky. It is the kind of piece that settles naturally into a lobby corner or beside a fireplace.
The solid wood frame is offered in American walnut, white oak, ash or beech, with leather, fabric or COM upholstery. Light oak with a soft woven fabric gives it a Scandinavian calm, while walnut and leather push it toward a classic club-room feel.
The Griffith frame is built with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few bolted connections. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
At 32" wide, allow room on each side for a side table and comfortable circulation in lounge groupings. Our seating layout guide covers clearances.
Wood (Wood Option B): American walnut, American white oak, North American ash and European beech, plus walnut-stained beech, light and dark walnut-stained ash and black painted open-pore ash.
Leather (Leather Option A): a wide range of standard, deluxe and premium leathers, including distressed premium hides in deep browns, greens and reds.
Fabric (Fabric Option A): a broad selection of commercial fabrics and tweeds, many rated from 72,000 to 130,000 double rubs.
COM/COL: customer's own material is welcome, and we will provide the yardage.
