Product description
This unique Lurashell Apollo chair is still in original condition. The upholstery is here and there a little bit pilled and in the headboard is a very light wear to see,
This unique and rare armchair stands on a four-legged swivel base in aluminum complete with original cushion.
The Lurashell Furniture Company used advanced techniques and innovative design to produce some of the most iconic chairs of the era.
The Apollo chair was part of the planet suite and evoked the space age with its contoured seat, a breakthrough in design. A timeless classic and highly sought-after piece.
In the 1960s, the Lurashell Company was 1 of the first in the UK to use fiberglass and yaw moldings. Led by Herbert Wood, Lurashell Company created a series of contemporary furniture lines in the Space Age style, inspired by Scandinavian design. Their furniture was so exclusive and high quality that they were allowed to supply the furniture for the 1st class of the Queen Elisabeth II Oceanliner.
There is a particularly nice video on Youtube about the restoration of a Lurashell armchair: Drew Restores An Iconic 1960's Lurashell Chair | Salvage Hunters: The Restorers
