Rare ‘Glasgow’ lounge chair by Georges Van Rijck for Beaufort, 1970s
A rare and elegant example of the ‘Glasgow’ lounge chair, designed by Belgian designer Georges Van Rijck and produced by Beaufort in the 1970s. The design is defined by its sculptural softness and refined contrast between material and structure.
Professionally reupholstered in a high-end luxurious jacquard textile from the renowned Maison Pierre Frey collection, the fabric introduces depth, movement and a sophisticated tactile quality. Designed by Fadini Borghi, the velvet features a flattened pile that creates a subtle rhythm of undulating waves, reminiscent of the surface of water. This expressive texture enhances the organic character of the chair while adding a contemporary refinement.
The softness and richness of the upholstery stand in direct contrast with the minimalist metal base. The slender structure gives the impression of lightness and suspension, allowing the seat to appear almost floating in space. This dialogue between solid and void, softness and structure, creates a balanced and elegant composition.
With its fluid lines, generous comfort and architectural presence, this piece functions as both a lounge chair and a sculptural statement. A distinctive and rare vintage design that integrates effortlessly into modern, minimalist or eclectic interiors.
