Side Chair c. 1936

Rolland Livingstone's "Side Chair" (c. 1936) is a watercolor drawing of a design for a chair featuring a distinctive shield-shaped back with intricate, fan-like detailing. The chair is rendered in a traditional style, emphasizing elegant lines and meticulous craftsmanship. The artist, Rolland Livingstone (1855-1995), was a prominent figure in the design world, and this piece is a testament to his commitment to refined aesthetics. The use of watercolor allows for subtle shading and a sense of depth, adding to the overall realism of the design. This drawing would have served as a design proposal for a furniture maker, highlighting Livingstone's vision for a sophisticated and timeless piece.
