In the 1950s, American designer Russel Wright collaborated with Shwayder Brothers Inc., makers of the Samsonite brand, to create a line of innovative folding chairs. Designed for schools and outdoor spaces, these chairs feature enameled steel frames and molded plywood seats, combining strength with a modern aesthetic. Their sleek, functional design reflects Wright's commitment to making modern design accessible to the masses. These pieces are now prized by collectors and displayed at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum. They embody the spirit of mid-20th-century American industrial design. This piece has an attribution mark,
