Rare set of "How High the Moon" armchairs by Shiro Kuramata in nickel-plated expanded steel. Vitra label. This is a very important piece of 1980s Japanese design: an armchair in nickel-plated steel mesh, almost transparent, without a traditional internal structure. The Centre Pompidou gives dimensions of approximately 75 × 95 × 85 cm and confirms the manufacturer as Vitra International AG. Purchased at auction from PIASA with original invoice in 2018.
Designed in 1986, "How High the Moon" is named after a popular jazz standard. An example of this design is held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
