Grafton Everest Lounger in Black Leather
Price per chair. Two chairs are available.
A striking vintage lounge armchairs by Grafton Everest, upholstered in supple black leather and set within a solid wooden frame. These chairs perfectly capture the relaxed luxury and comfort-first philosophy that made the manufacturer famous.
The leather has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, giving the chairs depth and character that only genuine vintage pieces can achieve. The generously padded seat, deep backrest and integrated head support create a very comfortable lounging position — ideal for reading, watching films, or simply relaxing.
Craftsmanship & design
Founded in South Africa in the mid-20th century, Grafton Everest became well known for producing exceptionally comfortable upholstered seating. Unlike many Scandinavian designs that focus on minimalism, their furniture emphasised ergonomics and durability, often combining heavy timber structures with thick, supportive cushioning. These chairs are a perfect example: substantial frames, wide armrests and deeply tufted upholstery designed for long-term use rather than purely visual effect.
