Sculptural, sophisticated, and exceptionally comfortable, the Forecast Lounge Chair by renowned American designer Henry Glass is one of the finest expressions of postwar Mid-Century Modern design. Produced during the golden era of American furniture, the chair embodies Glass’s signature ability to soften modernism with graceful curves, inviting proportions, and impeccable craftsmanship.
Its sculpted barrel-like form wraps gently around the sitter, creating a chair that is as comfortable as it is visually striking. The elegantly flared back, integrated arms, and generously proportioned seat create an enveloping silhouette, while the slender tapered brass legs lend a sense of lightness that perfectly balances the chair’s substantial presence. Viewed from every angle, the Forecast Lounge Chair reveals the refined sculptural quality that has made it a favorite among collectors and interior designers alike.
This example has been professionally restored by Hobbs Modern and newly upholstered in a luxurious bronze performance velvet. The fabric shifts beautifully as light moves across its surface, revealing rich caramel, bronze, and copper undertones that enhance the chair’s flowing lines. Beyond its elegant appearance, the performance velvet offers outstanding durability, making it equally suited for everyday living or a carefully curated design interior.
The warm bronze upholstery pairs beautifully with the original brass legs, creating a palette that feels both distinctly mid-century and effortlessly contemporary. Whether placed in a living room, reading nook, executive office, or bedroom, the chair serves as both a comfortable retreat and a sculptural focal point.
As with many of the pieces restored by Hobbs Modern, this Forecast Lounge Chair can also be custom upholstered in the fabric or leather of your choice. Whether your vision calls for sumptuous mohair, richly textured bouclé, classic wool, premium leather, or another designer textile, our restoration team can tailor the chair to complement your interior perfectly.
