I inherited this authentic chair from my Uncle Rig, who was a collector of fine things. I love the style and comfort of the chair. Some of the stitching was damaged in shipping, but was lovingly repaired by a leather shop in downtown Sacramento. It’s as much a piece of art as it is furniture.
The chair is in excellent condition, just some minor pitting on the lower bar.

This is a true collector's piece, dating between 1962 and 1968. Gavina was the prestigious manufacturer that held the license for Breuer’s designs before the company was acquired by Knoll International in 1968. Collectors often seek out Gavina-era chairs for their exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance. Features & Authentication: Manufacturer: Features the original "Gavina" paper label/sticker on the frame. Frame: High-quality seamless tubular steel with a polished chrome finish. Correct welded/polished end caps (not plastic plugs), consistent with high-end Italian production. Leather: Original thick-cut saddle leather in a stunning "Cognac" or "Saddle Brown" hue. The leather shows a beautiful natural patina and character that only comes with age. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The chrome is bright with minimal oxidation, and the leather straps remain taut and structurally sound. (Note any specific wear, e.g., "minor surface scuffs consistent with 50+ years of use"). Dimensions: Width: 31 in (79 cm) Depth: 27 in (69 cm) Height: 28 in (71 cm) This iconic piece of Bauhaus design history is ready to serve as a functional statement piece in any modern home or office. less
