Lot 652: * Tom Dixon Wingback Chair — Royal Purple Tonus with;Footstool

Tom Dixon Wingback Chair — Royal Purple Tonus with;Footstool The Tom Dixon Wingback Chair is a contemporary reinterpretation of the 17th century English wingback and balloon back archetypes, originally conceived for the Shoreditch House Members Club and now recognised as one of Dixon’s most sculptural seating designs. Defined by its expressive sweeping curves, high protective backrest and dramatic, rakish silhouette, the chair blends British heritage with modern industrial craftsmanship. This example is upholstered in Royal Purple Tonus fabric, a highly elastic wool blend that hugs the chair’s complex geometry with precision, while the solid black ash legs provide a sleek monochromatic foundation. Measuring 74 × 97 × 128 cm, it stands as a functional piece of design sculpture suited to exclusive clubs, contemporary interiors or refined residential settings. (SC11)
