Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian philosophy, the chair combines a welded bent steel rod frame with molded plywood seat and back panels. Its exposed hardware and minimalist construction have made it an enduring example of late 20th-century American industrial design.

Multiple chairs are available and are being sold individually. Photos represent the overall condition and construction. Buyers will receive a chair of comparable condition, with natural variations in wear, patina, staining, scratches, and chipping. Each chair has developed its own unique character from years of commercial use.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with wear consistent with commercial use. Plywood surfaces show varying degrees of scratches, stains, edge wear, and chips. Steel frames are structurally sound with attractive age-related patina.
