Pieff Alpha Armchair Leather And Chrome C.1970

Mid Century Pieff Alpha Armchair Leather and Chrome C.1970

This armchair from the Alpha range by Pieff is presented with its thick set chrome plated tubular metal frame which matches well with the super quality chocolate coloured leather hide to the cushions and arms. It’s looking rather glorious and awaiting a new home.

Designed by Tim Bates for the Worcestershire based Pieff Company whose brochures boasted…

“Luxury furniture of the late 20th Century, characterised by its original design, flowing lines and usual blending of striking materials. Now used loosely to describe any design which is ahead of its time”
“The Pieff collection reflects a certain lifestyle. A privileged one we admit. But then, Pieff is very exclusive furniture. A fact which is recognised not just in Britain, but through-out the world. Our designers are as individual as the people who own them. And our originality can be seen in each addition to our collection. Inspired ideas bring together exciting shapes, contrasting materials, textures and tones. The results are classically simple in concept, utterly modern in execution. The designer's imagination is matched only by the craftsman's consummate skill. And to complement both, we ensure that everything that goes into making Pieff furniture is of the finest quality. The touch is unmistakable. Which is why it may surprise you to learn that not everybody is impressed with the Pieff collection. But, of course, not everybody can afford to be.”
The frames have been carefully cleaned and are in fine order with no kinks or repairs, the super quality thick leather hide upholstery has been conditioned by our workshop and possesses sensible age wear with no holes or splits and the cushion inners have been replaced with new foam fillings so expect a decent and comfortable seat .

A tremendously good looking mid century piece from Pieff.
