This classic mid-century modern accent chair has a classic modern style, finished with a wonderfully chic orange vinyl plastic upholstery. This chair has a one piece upper, and a lower metal frame with 4 legs and a swiveling base. The 450 series chair was notoriously a part of "Operation Skydrop", a famous marketing campaign in 1966. According to Steelcase, "To demonstrate the durability of the 450 Series chair a skydiver is strapped to the chair. At 1,000 feet the skydiver disengages from the chair, which hits the ground at approximately 100 mph. The base breaks off, but the shell remains undamaged." This particular chair is in good vintage condition, with just some wear to the upholstery and metal base. It measures 33.25 inches tall, 25 inches wide, and 25 inches deep. It has a seat height of 19 inches, a seat width of 19 inches, a seat depth of 18 inches, an arm height of 7 inches, and a back height of 15 inches. See less
