Henry Glass lounge chairs

Austrian-American designer Henry P. Glass (1911–2003) left an indelible mark on mid-century design. An architect and industrial designer with a flair for innovation, he created a series of lounge chairs that combined functional clarity with sculptural presence.

We spot his lounge chairs in the reception area of Lumon Industries in Severance — their familiar modernist silhouettes recontextualised into a world of corporate judgement and control. Today, Glass’s pieces are highly sought-after, turning up in the catalogues of specialist dealers and international auction houses, where their rarity and enduring appeal continue to command attention.
