The chair offered here is an early Gavina production.

The Gavina models, as well as the early versions by Knoll International, had only a sticker for identification. The modern models have the manufacturer's name incorporated into the frame. Gavina also sometimes incorporated the signature into the leather. This model bears the signature in the leather and has the original Gavina sticker.


Manufactured by Thonet in 1925, restored by Gavina in 1964. After the acquisition of Gavina by Knoll International (1968), it is still manufactured by Knoll International. Awards
