Mid-Century Modern Tufted Lounge Chair w/ Brass Tacks, c.1950’s

Product Details

This Mid-Century Modern tufted lounge chair by The May Co. embodies the charm and craftsmanship of 1950s Los Angeles design. Upholstered in its original red vinyl, it showcases elegant rolled arms with brass tack trim, button tufting, and maple tapered legs that balance classic refinement with mid-century simplicity. Its bold color and sculpted silhouette bring a timeless sense of confidence and comfort, making it a striking statement piece for any interior. The chair remains in its original vintage condition, proudly displaying the character and patina earned over decades of gentle use. A rare example of department-store luxury from the golden age of American furniture design, this piece captures both elegance and history in one seat.

Fun Historical Fact: The May Company was one of Los Angeles’ most prominent department stores during the mid-20th century, known for offering high-quality, fashion-forward home furnishings made by regional craftsmen. Its Wilshire Boulevard flagship—now part of the Academy Museum—was an icon of Art Deco architecture. During the 1950s, The May Co. became a destination for stylish Californians seeking modern design with Hollywood flair.
