This iconic hanging chair features the classic clear acrylic sphere suspended from a polished chrome arching frame, creating a stunning floating effect that defines space-age modernism. The interior includes its black tufted cushions, providing contrast against the transparent shell and giving the chair its signature cozy “cocoon” feel. Please note, cushions are not original.

The clear acrylic shows light surface wear and some expected scuffing, consistent with age and use, as seen in the photos. The chrome frame and base are bright and reflective, with minor wear typical for vintage pieces. Overall, the chair presents beautifully and remains structurally solid.
