These exquisite mid-century modern lounge chairs, crafted by Viko Baumritter—a pioneering American furniture line launched by the Baumritter Corporation in the late 1940s to embrace contemporary design—exemplifies the era's fusion of industrial innovation and organic comfort. Produced circa 1960 in Beecher Falls, Vermont, where Viko maintained a dedicated manufacturing facility, the chair features a slender, slanted tubular steel frame finished in a distinctive hammered copper patina. This textured metallic surface evokes a warm, artisanal glow, with subtle indentations that catch the light and add depth to the otherwise minimalist silhouette. Contrasting elegantly against the frame are smooth wooden armrests, likely in walnut or ash, providing a tactile, natural grip that grounds the design in mid-century warmth. The seat and back are upholstered in dark grey pinstripe vinyl, a durable yet sophisticated material that offers a sleek, retro sheen while concealing the passage of time with its subtle linear patterning. The cushioning appears generously padded for inviting support, with the backrest subtly reclining to enhance relaxation without compromising the chair's poised, sculptural profile. Raised on four slim, capped legs, the piece hovers gracefully above the floor, promoting an airy presence in any space—from a sunlit living room to a cozy den. Overall, these Viko Baumritter chairs stand as a testament to postwar optimism, blending robust American craftsmanship with Scandinavian-inspired restraint for timeless versatility.
