Exemplifying Sottsass’s bold postmodern sensibility, these sculptural chairs feature vivid red enameled arms contrasted against black lacquered legs and black upholstered seats, creating a dramatic graphic silhouette from every angle.

Originally designed in the 1980s, the Mandarin series reflects Sottsass’s iconic Memphis-era aesthetic while maintaining the refined craftsmanship associated with Knoll production. The chairs are substantial, comfortable, and visually impactful — equally suited for use around a dining table, conference setting, or as statement accent seating.

This set presents in very good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Some areas of enamel loss and rubbing to the red arms, as expected from use, while the black upholstery remains clean and well-presented. These chairs are ready for use. See less
