A perfect blend of ergonomics and sculptural clarity, it exemplifies Harcourt’s mastery of modernist form and functional seating. The chair features a low, comfortably contoured seat with integrated armrests and a gently reclining backrest, supported by a minimalist brushed aluminum base with a four-star profile. Its tailored silhouette is upholstered in a warm olive-brown wool blend fabric, typical of the sophisticated color palette of the era. The aluminum arms are accented with matching padded inserts for additional comfort and continuity of material. What distinguishes this chair is its timeless form—at once industrial and inviting—making it ideal for both workspace and residential interiors. Whether used behind a desk, at a conference table, or as an occasional chair, it provides both visual presence and ergonomic support. This particular piece shows signs of age and use, including light fading and minor fabric wear, adding to its vintage authenticity. The structure is solid, the swivel mechanism functions smoothly, and the chair retains its original upholstery. For those seeking a pristine finish, reupholstery could be considered, though it is not essential for immediate use.
