Here's another little #MidCenturyModern furniture project I finished recently. This chair was made by someone called Design Group, Inc, out of Lake Oswego, Oregon. I've not been able to find any info about the maker beyond this piece. But it's quite lovely. I especially like the joinery—each joint feels like a little minimalist composition. Built with quarter-sawn oak, with an oiled finish.

My contribution here was cleaning up several decades worth of grime and cigarette residue, stripping off the rotted original foam, and reupholstering. The fabric is nothing special, something I found a half bolt of at salvage, but it's a nice match for the color and energy of the chair, if not especially period-appropriate.

A 3/4 angle shot of an oak armchair. Its construction is one-inch quarter-sawn oak with radiused edges, interesting interlocking joinery at the front corners, and a curved plywood back. The seat is upholstered with a gold and brown geometric patterned fabric whose effect approaches that of a leopard print. It is pictured in front of a window with blinds down, on a lightly hued vintage oak floor. There is a potted plant and a small credenza behind.
An up-close image of one of the chair's pegged lap joints.
Another pegged lap joint from a different angle, showing off the contrasting end-grain of the vertical member.
The joint where the curved plywood back meets its vertical support, an interesting angular composition showing off the grain of the wood, as well as the pegged lap joint at the rear of the chair's arm.
