The Gus* Modern x Pendleton Lounge Chairs are part of a new collaboration between Toronto-based Gus Modern and Pendleton Woolen Mills that merge comfort with high-end modern aesthetics.
The chairs some in three styles including the Halifax Rocker, Elk Chair and GT Rocker, which are all upholstered with the classically stylish Pendleton fabrics to deliver a comfortable yet high-end finish.
Each of the chairs are made in Canada and speak to the growing shift towards laid-back luxury products that are ornately crafted to be used rather than simply admired from afar. Each of the chairs are crafted from premium materials including bent plywood, powder-coated steel and much more, depending on the different chair being observed. The chairs are available directly from Pendleton starting at $1,475 each.
