Meet the Three ‘It’ Chairs of the Cornwall House

Love all things vintage? Meet the trio of design icons that define the Cornwall House—an architectural home that exudes mid-century cool. And when you enter the Cornwall House Draw they could be yours—along with this beach-front retreat worth over £3,500,000.

So, pull up a seat and discover three chair-ished finds made to transform the way you live.

1.Laid Back

Sometimes the best ideas arrive when you’re not trying too hard to find them. And where better to wait than in one of these 1970s Eugen Schmidt leather chairs? With their low-slung frames and deep seats, these design classics invite you to be—quite literally—laid-back. Sink into their burgundy leather as Monterey pines ripple across the surface of the heated pool, the view of Rame Head rising in the distance, and simply relax.

2.Defy Gravity 

Drop into this cantilevered 1940s Audoux-Minet chair and enjoy a moment of weightlessness among the treetops. Twisted hemp and oak come together to draw you closer to nature, in this handmade piece from mid-century innovators Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet. The French duo’s signature rope detailing—born from ingenuity in a time of scarcity—is a gentle reminder that creativity always finds a way.

3.Make Space

 

Leave your books behind and settle into this iconic leather and chrome chair by Bauhaus pioneer Marcel Breuer—because this is a place to study the changing light, sounds of the sea and beachcombed treasures from the shore below. The MG5’s minimalist steel frame is designed to cut through visual noise, creating clean lines and space for thought.
