Mid Century Campus Armchair by Lupton Morton
A nice slice of late 1960s early 1970s style – the Campus armchair was designed by John Morton and came in numerous types, this one in the “Campus Highback Chair” with a black wooden frame and new good quality charcoal grey Cristina Marrone fabric. A comfortable and great looking chair.
“After creating a dual reputation in traditional craftsmanship and high-end industrial design with Tom Lupton, a fellow Architectural Association student, Morton grasped the opportunity offered by the expansion of the universities in the early 60s. He initiated the Living and Learning exhibition, touring towns where new universities were planned. The outcome was Campus, a range of antique furniture. By 1967, 18 universities had purchased Campus, and it was also sold to the public through a number of innovative schemes. One direct marketing campaign, through the Sunday Times’ colour supplement, accepted payment by Visa credit card, then a novel idea at weekends it was sold directly from the factory in Wallingford, on the Thames in Oxfordshire.”
As mentioned the upholstery and filling is new and the black frame is marked with wear to the arms and frame, no breaks, cracks repairs, it's sturdy and firm. The Pirelli rubber seating platform underneath the seat is good – similar to that used by Pieff.
Dimensions - Overall: Height 74cm x Width 67cm x Depth 71cm
Dimensions - Specifically the Seat: Height 38-30cm (Front-Rear) x Width 55cm x Depth 50cm
