Designed for the 3rd Memphis exhibition by George Sowden (UK) in 1983, it is a melding of his memories of the British Arts & Crafts (Mackintosh, etc.) and a rectilinear homage to Gerrit Rietveld & De Stijl.
Every element of the Palace chair intensifies its rectilinear layout, with intense color and simple forms. However, its comfort is pleasantly surprising and it functions equally well as a dining or side chair.
The Palace chair is often depicted in the designer George Sowden's architectonic drawings of interiors as his own iconic object! A classic Sowden design. The option of tying Memphis fabric cushions on to the seat exists (please inquire).
