At The Rare Chair Company, we specialize in transforming mid-century furniture into stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces for modern homes. Our focus is on Parker Knoll lounge chairs, an iconic brand celebrated for its craftsmanship, timeless design, and comfort. Whether you’re a mid-century modern aficionado or looking for a standout feature for your home, our restored and reupholstered chairs are more than furniture—they’re a piece of history.
Parker Knoll has been synonymous with quality and innovation since its founding in 1869 by Frederick Parker. By combining traditional woodworking techniques with Willi Knoll’s pioneering spring system, the brand redefined comfort and durability. In the mid-20th century, Parker Knoll became a symbol of sophisticated design, with their lounge chairs epitomizing the clean lines and ergonomic shapes of the era.
Today, Parker Knoll furniture remains highly sought after, but many of these treasures are hidden away, waiting to be rediscovered. At The Rare Chair Company, we’re committed to restoring these iconic pieces to their former glory while making them perfect for today’s interiors.
We begin our process by carefully sourcing authentic Parker Knoll chairs from auctions, estate sales, and trusted antique dealers. Each chair is chosen for its potential, focusing on frames that retain the craftsmanship and materials that made the brand legendary. Even if a chair’s finish or upholstery is worn, we see the hidden beauty and ensure every piece has a future as bright as its past.
Our restoration process preserves the integrity of each chair while enhancing its aesthetic and structural quality. Wooden frames are carefully sanded and refinished to highlight their natural beauty, while any needed repairs are made using materials that match the original. This ensures every chair retains its Parker Knoll heritage while offering the durability and style today’s buyers demand.
Reupholstery is where creativity and craftsmanship come together. We offer a curated selection of high-quality fabrics, including luxurious velvets, durable eco-friendly materials, and modern patterns that suit every style. Whether you prefer a classic mid-century look or want something bold and unique, our team works with you to create a design that fits perfectly in your space.
Every chair is upholstered by hand, ensuring both comfort and a flawless finish.
By choosing a restored Parker Knoll chair, you’re making an eco-conscious choice that reduces waste and celebrates sustainability. Every piece we restore is a testament to enduring design and craftsmanship, offering a unique story you can share for years to come.
Our attention to detail, commitment to authenticity, and passion for quality set us apart. With The Rare Chair Company, you’re not just buying furniture—you’re investing in a piece of design history tailored to your tastes.
