A sophisticated and sculptural chaise lounge designed by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Saridis of Athens, circa 1960s. This exquisite piece reflects the designer’s deep appreciation for classical Greek forms, reinterpreted through a modernist lens. The frame is crafted in solid Greek walnut, with graceful saber legs and a subtly flared backrest that echo ancient klismos silhouettes.
The seat is composed of expertly hand-woven leather straps, creating a rich texture and a supportive surface. This balance of organic materials and restrained elegance is characteristic of Robsjohn-Gibbings’ celebrated work for Saridis, where he masterfully revived Hellenic ideals for the modern era.

In excellent vintage condition with a warm, developed patina to both the wood and leather. A rare and timeless statement piece that functions equally well as a lounge, daybed, or sculptural accent.
