Armchairs

Designer Geoffrey D. Harcourt RDI distinguished himself with this series swivel chairs by the comfort form and striking upholstery. The idea of the F500 armchair originate because the girlfriend of Harcourt RDI like to curl up in cross-leggs. He was fascinated by this very female attitude. The result is the F500 series: an armchair with all comfort of an easy chair, and wide enough to suit an unusual seating position.

These comfortable F 500 shells on a metal base are pleasantly futuristic but, at the same time, nostalgic.

With its extra thick upholstery, the F510 and F512 is an armchair to curl up in and enjoy. Available in a high and a low version. The swivel armchair is available with a disc base or a cross base.

'A chair should focus on the person and not the other way around.' - Geoffrey D. Harcourt RDI

Geoffrey D. Harcourt (1935) trained at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1962, he designed his first series of small office fauteuils for Artifort. His designs introduced Artifort to the international market for contract design. In the beginning, Harcourt designed mostly seats for reception areas. His first design for Artifort, the 042 series in 1963, was an immediate international success. His philosophy is that the chair should focus on the person and not the other way around. “First the person, then the chair.” Harcourt has won many prizes and in 1978 was awarded the title of "Royal Designer for Industry".
