In Process: Forecast Lounge Chair by Henry Glass

A striking example of American mid-century modern design, the Forecast Lounge Chair by acclaimed designer Henry Glass captures the sculptural elegance and relaxed sophistication that defined the postwar modern movement. Designed with bold lines, exceptional comfort, and an unmistakably modern silhouette, the Forecast Lounge Chair remains one of Henry Glass’s most recognizable and sought-after lounge designs.

This chair features a beautifully sculpted, wraparound form with gently curved arms, a generously proportioned deep seat, and a tall angled back that offers both visual drama and incredible comfort. Raised on elegant tapered brass legs, the design feels light and architectural while maintaining the inviting warmth that makes it perfect for everyday living. Its low-slung profile and organic curves make it equally suited for a refined living room, office, reading corner, or statement bedroom seating.

Freshly restored by Hobbs Modern, this example has been professionally upholstered in a rich textured olive green fabric that highlights the chair’s soft curves and sculptural form. The upholstery gives the piece a fresh, elevated look while staying true to its original mid-century character.

One of the best features of this chair is its versatility—this Forecast Lounge Chair can also be fully customized in the fabric of your choice. Whether you prefer mohair, boucle, velvet, leather, or a classic woven textile, our restoration team can tailor the upholstery to perfectly fit your space and design vision.
