Full Description

An exceptional set of six authentic Chromodern sculptural dining chairs, cast in Los Angeles and newly presented in a refined matte black finish. These chairs feature a bold architectural silhouette defined by vertical spindle backs, crown crest detailing, and substantial cast pedestal bases with distinctive gear-form plinths.

Each chair incorporates a return-to-center swivel mechanism, allowing a smooth quarter-turn rotation in either direction before gently returning to center. This controlled swivel design offers flexibility while maintaining a composed and tailored dining presence — a hallmark of quality pedestal seating often found in high-end hospitality and private club environments.

The heavy cast bases provide visual weight and structural stability, grounding the chairs while emphasizing their sculptural impact. The matte black finish enhances the form’s graphic strength and elevates the original design into a contemporary, designer-forward presentation. Newly upholstered white seat covers provide crisp contrast and balance, reinforcing the installation-ready aesthetic.

Undersides are marked “Chromodern – Los Angeles” with cast number 9802-16, confirming authentic period production.

A rare opportunity to acquire a complete matched set of six sculptural Chromodern dining chairs, thoughtfully refreshed while preserving the integrity and drama of their original design.
