Tessa T4 sling pair of armchairs designed by Fred Lowen fully restored new Italian tan leather

This beautiful Australian made Chair, which won Australian design Awards in the 1970’s, is crafted from Teak veneer with solid Timber rails. Tessa T4, designed by Fred Lowen for Tessa Furniture, this model was released in the early 70s, features an appealing low profile, spacious seating, bent ply curved frame, netted hammock style sling and removable leather cushions you can expect a very comfortable and supportive seating experience it sits low and more of a comfortable hammock feeling. If you like a sinking chair but firm with a leather feel then these chairs are for you. These are super comfy however you can also tighten the net to have a firmer/tighter sit. This lovely mid century modern pair of armchairs has been fully restored including many hours and bled fingers to restore all 8 cushions in new Italian leather. We believe the plywood is the teak version and features lovely curves, nylon netting, two armrests (which is the earlier version from 70s) and the classic curves that Tessa is renowned for.

PLEASE NOTE: We have the mathcing T4 sling 2 seater couch separately in another advertisement, however this advertisement (and price) is for both the arm chairs only (2), there is an option to buy the whole set (Pair of armchairs and 2 seater couch)

 

Overall Condition:

8.5/10

8/10:
Frame/wood is an 8/10 there are some chips to plywood which has been filled in to the closest color as the golden break teak color (refer to pics and videos)
Cushions: 9/10: brand new italian leather for cushions, the straps and armrests have also been upholstered, this took many days to upholster but we are so happy with the comfort, look and feel of the upholstery. The leather we sourced was the same supplier that Tessa used directly in the latter years of their business.

9/10
Excellent, functionally no wobbles or warping in the wood. No cracks sturdy and strong, these are super comfy if you like a slight sinking feeling like a hammock, however you can also tighten the net to have a firmer sit
