Mid-Century Grey Plastic Armchair with Timber Legs

This SketchUp model depicts a mid-century style armchair featuring a moulded grey plastic shell supported by natural timber dowel legs. Defined by its iconic organic profile, this armchair features a continuous, contoured seat shell finished in a matte charcoal grey. The ergonomic form provides integrated armrests, flowing seamlessly into a deep backrest. Below, the structural base consists of four splayed natural-wood legs, reinforced by a characteristic black-finished metal cross-wire bracing system. The assembly is secured with visible hardware at the connection points between the shell and the timber frame, maintaining a clean, industrial-inflected aesthetic that remains a staple of contemporary interior design. The proportions are balanced for use as both dining and occasional seating.

Within SketchUp, this model is organised into a clean component structure for easy manipulation. Users should place the object using the component origin, which is set at the floor level for efficient snapping to surfaces. The geometry is lightweight, allowing for smooth navigation even in complex scenes. To customise the look, apply high-resolution textures to the shell surface or adjust the material settings for the timber grain to match specific project requirements. Ensure the model is scaled correctly to your project units before final placement.
