1950s Allan Gould Designs String Lounge Chair

Inspired by the sculptural outdoor seating concepts developed by Allan Gould during the 1950s, this string lounge chair reflects the airy modernism that made Gould’s work distinctive within mid-century furniture design. Based in New York, Gould became recognized for combining industrial iron construction with woven cord seating that emphasized both comfort and visual openness.

This lounge chair features a sturdy iron frame paired with woven vinyl or cotton yacht cording, creating a relaxed low-profile seating form with a strong sculptural presence. Its open-frame construction and woven surfaces give the chair a lightweight appearance while maintaining the durability associated with mid-century iron patio furniture. The frame remains structurally sound and is offered through CFR Patio’s factory as a custom restoration opportunity. Professional powder coat refinishing and new vinyl or cotton yacht cording installation are available in your selected material and color combination.

Reproduction lounge chairs in the style of Allan Gould Designs continue to attract collectors and designers for their distinctive blend of industrial materials, handcrafted weaving, and timeless mid-century styling.
