The Norman Bel Geddes Easy Chair made of fabric and beech was produced in the United States, 1949 and designed by the American industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes (1893-1958). In his book ‘Horizons’ (1932) he describes his design philosophy of Streamlining which resulted in the eponymous design style of the 1930s.
These slipper chairs are a wonderful example of his style executed in furniture design. The thick seats and backrests are teardrop-shaped, a form he believed was superior. Resting on four tapered, conical legs. The design is simplistic with sharp lines.
