An impressive and exceptionally rare stunning complete set of eight authentic Russell Woodard spun fiberglass swivel armchairs, Mid-20th Century Circa 1955 - 1965. Originally from a Hollywood, CA estate. Russell Woodard’s iconic spun fiberglass design features incredible geometric patterns with modern lines and shapes — one of the most collectible and recognized American modernist furniture designs ever produced. Finding eight matching chairs is extraordinarily rare; most sets come to market as pairs or fours.
These chairs were acquired through 1stDibs (provenance documentation available upon request) in fair condition — structurally sound but showing significant age-appropriate wear including deteriorated wood on the bases and worn original cushions, as seen in the before photos included in this listing.
A rare and stunning complete set of eight authentic Russell Woodard spun fiberglass swivel armchairs, circa 1955–1965.

Sets of eight in this condition are extraordinarily rare. Most come to market as pairs or fours.
