This rare dual chair exemplifies Hadley’s refined, timeless approach to American interior design and is a form seldom seen on the market.

Unlike standard upholstered pieces, a tête-à-tête is both sculptural and functional, designed as a conversation piece and intended to anchor a room. Examples designed by Albert Hadley are exceedingly scarce, making this an important find for collectors, designers, and serious interiors enthusiasts.

The piece retains its original upholstery, recently professionally cleaned. One side shows very slight, natural fading from light exposure, consistent with age and placement near a window; this does not detract from the overall beauty or impact and is reflected in the price.
Albert Hadley’s work is widely recognized for commanding strong prices at auction and in the secondary market, with decorative, lighting, and furniture pieces achieving significant values. This tête-à-tête represents a rare opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable, sculptural seating piece designed by one of America’s most influential interior designers.
