Charles Furey first designed the Hobnob in 1971 and it’s still sold today. To celebrate Sebel’s 75th anniversary, a limited-edition update of the iconic Hobnob Armchair is being issued, in an exclusive release of just 75 chairs.
Same iconic silhouette, enhanced with refined upholstery and contemporary recycled materials.
In 1971, Charles Furey designed a chair for rooms that never stopped moving — clubs, pubs, and the great outdoor rooms of the Australian summer.
Built to endure decades of daily use, Hobnob became one of the most recognisable silhouettes in Australian furniture design.
Harry Sebel founds Sebel in Sydney — the start of 75 years of Australian-made furniture.
Furey designs the sculptural moulded shell for Sebel — comfort, durability and commercial toughness in one chair.
Hobnob goes into full production — with arms or without — precision-moulded in Australia using the most advanced technology of its day.
Reissued for a new generation. Same silhouette, made new: refined upholstery and contemporary recycled materials, manufactured in Australia.
Same form. Considered materials.
