A sculptural study in elegance and proportion, these rare “Viscount” chairs by Dan Johnson feature his signature tapering legs, floating curved seat, and graceful brass-wrapped arm supports. Designed in the mid-century era and admired for their refined Italian-influenced silhouette, the Viscount chair makes a stunning accent chair or an elevated dining chair — equally at home around a pedestal table, in a study, or as a statement side chair in a living space.
The frames are crafted in beech and stained to resemble warm walnut tones, highlighting the verticality and architectural rhythm of Johnson’s design. The chairs retain their original upholstery but are “in process,” and may be reupholstered in the fabric or leather of your choice to suit your interior.
We are actively searching for additional examples of this model to build out a fuller set — an excellent opportunity for collectors or designers seeking multiple pieces.
Customization options include:
Fabric, leather, or Naugahyde upholstery
