Bretz Bergere Armchair in Tiger Upholstery
A 1990s bergère armchair by German furniture maker Bretz, upholstered in brown and black tiger-patterned fabric. Its exaggerated, enveloping back curves into rounded arms, surrounding a deep, generously cushioned seat. Small gilt brass feet sit almost inconspicuously beneath the upholstered body, a delicate detail against the chair's substantial proportions.
There's a wonderful tension between the familiar form of a traditional bergère and the exuberance of its tiger upholstery. The result is a chair that feels both theatrical and wonderfully comfortable, with the unconventional spirit that defined much of Bretz's work during this period.
