Yes, but. . .
furniture may be thought of as meant to accompany architecture (see definition 2., furnitecture). There are examples of building which would excuse, if not actually require, a chair -- indeed, whole suites of furniture -- like this one. There are some national park lodges, for instance, for which this very rocker might have been designed.
Of course, we could still crit this example on its own merits. I don't care for the various scalloped side stays, myself. Otherwise, and overlooking the unfortunate upholstery, this piece is internally consistent and delightfully robust. (Okay, okay, so I'm just being willfully contrary -- so shoot me !)

It's just
no to your taste. That doesn't necessarily make it crap.
If you owned a log-built lodge on a rough-faced granite foundation, with antlers and bear rugs inside, would you furnish it with Alexander Girard chairs and sofas ? I hope not. The building isn't crap -- it's just not to your taste.
This piece isn't of the quality of Stickley, but there are some niceties to it. I don't see dismissing it out of hand -- no matter how much it differs from the stuff we usually talk about here.
Just to play Devil's advocate, of course. . .

I would. Sorry. Except no way would I have antlers and bear rugs inside!

To any of you who question...
To any of you who question the use of horns and skins in modern designs....I point you towards Gio Ponti's Prediletta Villa in Caracas. It can, indeed, be done!

I have a another home that my wife uses as a design studio and it is a authentic Santa Fe Adobie home and i
bought and decorated it in modern cause i did not want to have the big heavy lodge look and the south west furniute . It turned out so great that is what got me hooked on modern furniture and i could not stop until i found my large home,

Excellent, and
a nice introduction to modernism, if I understand you. It does not follow, however, that Modern goes with everything. . .
I wish that the monster at the top of the page were a better example of its kind. But the point is valid, I believe: no matter how much we may love it, MCM is a style, and there are architectural environments in which it would be an alien invader.

One man's
meat is another man's poison. Look, you know and I know that Modern is as close as man has come to perfection. I think we can agree on that. But does that mean that all that has come before must be ignored, or reviled ?
That is my only point. I'll give you everything else. Sorry to have turned a fun thread into a rant. . .
