Michael Hirst - Mid century Safari arm chair, circa 1960

This stunning chair was designed by Michael Hirst in Melbourne, circa 1960. He enjoyed a highly successful career as a designer from 1955 to 1983. Following his passing in 2002, he was inducted into the Design Institute of Australia in 2017. 


This piece has its foundations in classic safari aesthetics. It is a fine historical example of campaign furniture, with its sturdiness, portability and easy assembly traditionally lending itself to travel. 


The high quality black vinyl seat and backrest, and the full grain leather armrests at once provide luxurious comfort and ample support in equal measures.


With its understated elegance and beautiful lines, this is a statement piece that exudes sophistication and style. 


The approximate dimensions are:

Height 82.5cm;

Seat height 44cm;

Width 54cm;

Depth 46.5cm.
