Grosfeld House Glassics Chair by Lorin Jackson – 1939

A rare and iconic chair from Grosfeld House’s celebrated Glassics collection, designed by Lorin Jackson in 1939. This early and exceptional example of American modernist design showcases Grosfeld House’s innovative use of Lucite at the dawn of its popularity in high-style interiors.

The chair features a dramatically sculpted back in ribbed Lucite, fanning out in a fluted silhouette and cinched with a delicate crisscross detail at the waist. Tapered Lucite legs add a sense of lightness and transparency, highlighting the brand’s mastery of form and material. Newly upholstered in a Nancy Corzine blush pink rose cut velvet , the seat and floating backrest introduce a romantic texture that contrasts beautifully with the clarity of the acrylic frame.

A defining piece of Art Deco design, this chair reflects the glamour and forward-thinking craftsmanship for which Grosfeld House is renowned. Elegant as a vanity chair, occasional accent, or collector’s display piece.
