Rare Deep Blue Velvet Carmen Lounge Chair by Toothill

Made in the UK in the 1960’s by British manufacturer Toothill as part of the Carmen range. This lounge chair is extremely rare both in design and manufactoring process, as the reupholstered deep blue velvet fabric is pulled and held over a metal frame/carcass rather than traditional wood. This method of manufactoring is now only associated with vehicle seats. The legs are constructed using afromosia wood which is not only very strong but has a deep and vivid grain.
