About the Item

A true statement piece from the 1960s, this iconic vintage “Clam Shell” armchair by Seymour J. Wiener for Kodawood captures everything that makes mid-century design so timeless. Sculpted from rich walnut, the frame showcases beautiful grain and expertly crafted joinery, while the gently arched armrests add a refined, architectural presence. The standout feature is its signature clamshell form, an organically shaped backrest and seat that cradle the body with both style and comfort. Newly reupholstered in high-quality leather, the vibrant tone contrasts beautifully against the warm walnut, giving the chair a bold yet sophisticated look that works effortlessly in both vintage and modern interiors. From every angle, this piece feels intentional, light in profile yet solid in construction, with elegant lines that make it as much a conversation piece as it is a functional lounge chair. Perfect as a standalone accent or paired in a seating arrangement, this is one of those designs that instantly elevates a space. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you purchase vintage furniture from Danish Modern NoHo, you're not just acquiring a unique piece; you're also gaining access to our expert restoration services.
