We have these listed as "attributed to" because the previous owner had them reupholstered in a Knoll velvet (tomato color way). She bought them from a well-known dealer and had him reupholster them. Unfortunately, the original labels were lost during the reupholstery process.

They feature a bentwood frame with a contoured form and loose seat and lumbar cushions. The chair is well known for it's comfortable design and is often compared to Saaarinen's Womb chair. The frames construction involves skillfully laminate bentwood and joinery. The chair was originally designed for the Yale School of Architecture's lounge between 1965 - 1967. You won't find a more comfortable chair.

The velvet on the chairs is in very good condition but there are some crush marks (see close up images). They are ready for placement. See less
