Chippy Heath Continental Mid-Century Teak Telephone Seat

Description

A distinctive piece of British mid-century design, the Chippy Heath Continental telephone seat combines warm teak tones, sculptural lines and practical storage in a beautifully considered form.

Produced during the 1960s, this elegant design features a two-drawer cabinet with shaped wooden handles, an upholstered seat and an angular timber frame with a single armrest. The asymmetrical arrangement gives the piece its character, balancing the clean geometry of the cabinet with the softer lines of the seating.

Originally designed for the telephone, it works just as well today as a hallway seat, an occasional bench or an unusual accent piece in a bedroom or living space.

The seat has been upholstered in a soft oyster boucle, providing a fresh contrast to the warm timber and allowing the design to sit comfortably in both contemporary and period interiors.

A characterful example of British mid-century furniture, with the understated modernist influence that makes these pieces so appealing. Dimensions
