Designed by George Mulhauser for Plycraft in the 1960s, the “Mr. Chair” remains one of the most celebrated American lounge chairs of the mid-century era. With its sculpted walnut plywood shell and flowing organic curves, this chair demonstrates the innovative approach to molded plywood furniture that defined the period. The seat is upholstered in its original black vinyl, which is in good condition, preserving both the authenticity and character of the piece.
This model is particularly notable for its comfort, featuring both swivel and reclining functions, making it as practical as it is striking. The craftsmanship highlights Plycraft’s reputation for quality and design ingenuity, offering a timeless alternative to the more widely known Eames lounge chair.

🧡 Why It Stands Out
An icon of mid-century American design, the “Mr. Chair” combines sculptural form with comfort. Its flowing curves, organic plywood shell, and bold presence make it a true statement piece in any interior, equally suited for collectors and design enthusiasts.
