Pair of Safari armchairs by Maurice Burke for Arkana – England, year

Elegant and iconic, these two Safari armchairs were designed by Maurice Burke and produced in the 1970s by the British house Arkana. Their low, graphic silhouette is fully in keeping with the modernist aesthetic, with a black-stained wood frame, chrome-plated metal bars, and a sprung seat in soft, comfortable black faux leather. The slightly reclining backrest naturally hugs the back when you sit down, offering a relaxed but controlled posture. A sober and functional design, in the spirit of Bauhaus revisited by the English scene of the seventies. Perfectly suited to a contemporary interior, these armchairs will bring a rare architectural touch to any living space or collection.
