Guy Rogers Ltd ‘Frisco Bay’ Lounge tub chairs.

Below is a quote from a seller of the same chairs.

"A fab pair of Guy Rogers Ltd ‘Frisco Bay’ Lounge tub chairs – one high-back and one low-back in 100% original condition and being sold as an upholstery project.  Designed by George Fejer and Eric Pamphilon the ‘Frisco Bay’ range was introduced c.1964 and was a significant departure from earlier designs that included the ‘Kyoto’ and ‘Manhattan’ ranges.  These generous upholstered chairs are constructed from solid timber frames and feature wonderful sculptured solid afrormosia legs with subtle curves in all the right places – they are very, very comfortable. These chairs would have been very expensive to produce and cost a whopping £83 in 1964 (approx £1600 today) which would explain why the range was discontinued within a couple of years making these chairs especially rare.  The original 100% wool Harris Tweed is dirty and worn in places and the chairs are being sold as an upholstery project, webbing and foam will also need to be replaced."

Lovely chairs .

Regards,

Lexi.
