Sit back and let yourself be embraced by the tight yet cozy design of the Podium Armless Chair from Gus Modern. In a modern or contemporary styled room, this piece feels right at home, borrowing its refined yet sophisticated aesthetic from the modernist movement of the 70s. The refined character gives the piece a timeless feel while maximizing comfort. To define the chair’s sense of shape, a solid kiln-dried hardwood frame produces an L-shape with a wedged back support. This shapely foundation is softened up by the soothing feel of durable and dense foam. To wrap things up, a woven fabric is applied to the piece, showing seductive looks and feel in its fine upholstery. The chair works elegantly as a standalone or with other pieces in the Podium line, thanks to a concealed buckle connector.

Mid-century modern design interpreted with an industrial edge. Such is the modis operandi of Gus* Modern. Every accessory, sofa, sectional, chair and table they design is inspired by simple forms and honest materials. The resulting modern furniture pieces are clean, elegant and versatile, with crisply tailored upholstery and solid, eco-friendly FSC-certified wood frames. Founded in 2000, Gus* Modern is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
