A refined pair of mid-century dining chairs by Gordon Russell, showcasing the maker’s hallmark balance of craftsmanship, proportion, and understated elegance. Constructed from solid wood, these chairs feature gently tapered legs and slim vertical slat backs, creating a light, architectural silhouette typical of British modernist design.
The seats are upholstered in an eye-catching paisley fabric, introducing colour and texture while remaining sympathetic to the period aesthetic. Comfortable, well-proportioned, and visually distinctive, this pair works beautifully around a dining table or as accent seating within a mid-century interior.
