Produced by Gimson \u0026amp; Slater of Leicester, it remains one of the most recognisable lounge chairs of the British postwar period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example presents beautifully. The solid teak arms retain their warm, honey grain, and the adjustable reclining back allows the sitter to find their own angle — a quietly ingenious feature that still works as intended. The upholstery, replaced at some point in a soft sage green velvet, is in good condition and gives the chair a considered, contemporary edge without compromising its period character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA genuine piece of British design history, ready to use and live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\/Maker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gimson \u0026amp; Slater, Leicester, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpholstery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light green velvet (later, good condition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable reclining back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good original condition throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Evengrain Furniture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56905482436994,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/6550\/4386\/files\/GIMSONSLATERROCKNRESTLOUNGECHAIR.3.png?v=1789156884","url":"https:\/\/evengrain.co.uk\/products\/gimson-slater-rock-n-rest-lounge-chair-teak-green-velvet-c-1960s","provider":"Evengrain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
