Tall Wrap-Back Salon Chair in Solid Teak & White Linen — Modern Neoclassical

About this object

A tall salon chair drawn in one continuous line: the solid teak frame rises from square tapered legs, sweeps up the back in a single unbroken moulding, wraps the crest and descends through deep-scooped arms back to the seat rail. The silhouette is the ornament—there is no carving anywhere. Inside the frame, white textured linen is stretched over a high wraparound back and finished with a loose feather-wrap seat cushion. It is the quietest piece in the Kahgez Atelier range and, in the right room, the most modern. The discipline here is the opposite of the carver's: a moulded frame with no ornament has nowhere to hide. The long sweep from crest to arm must be shaped, faired and polished as one continuous curve—any flat spot or stutter in the line reads instantly. The frame is jointed at the seat rails and shaped from solid stock; the profile is cut wood, not bent ply. The wraparound back borrows the logic of the wing chair—sheltering the sitter from the side—but flattens the wings into a clean plane, moving the chair from period to present. This is the chair for the room that already has its statement. Beside the carved fauteuil or gold-leaf bergère, it is the calm counterpart that lets them speak. Its high sheltering back makes it the natural reading chair in a bedroom or bay window, and in pairs it gives a modern living room classical posture without a single curl of ornament. Of everything in the Ivory Collection, this is the piece that works in a minimalist home as easily as a traditional one. Fabric and polish tone adjustable at order; matching ottoman available.
