A true icon of American mid-century design, this Carl Forslund “Rip Van Lee” lounge chair and matching ottoman dates to 1957 and embodies timeless comfort and sculptural elegance.

Designed for deep relaxation, the Rip Van Lee chair is known for its generously tufted leather upholstery, high supportive back, and classic silhouette that effortlessly bridges traditional craftsmanship with mid-century modern style. The matching ottoman completes the set, offering both visual balance and exceptional comfort.

Upholstered in a soft, creamy leather with beautifully aged patina as seen throughout with minor scratches and imperfections, this set showcases the quality materials and expert construction that made Carl Forslund a respected name in American furniture design. The carved wood arms and legs add warmth and refinement, making this piece equally at home in a curated mid-century living room, reading nook, or design-forward office.

This chair is not just seating — it’s a statement piece and a conversation starter, perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking authentic mid-century character.
