The chair has a particularly clean architectural construction. A separate upholstered backrest appears suspended between slender chrome supports, leaving an open section between the back and seat. Flat wood armrests provide a warm contrast against the chrome structure and dark upholstery.

The generously proportioned seat has a rounded front profile with piped edging, while the back has softly rounded corners characteristic of period contract and executive seating. Below, the chair is supported by a polished five-star chrome base fitted with casters.

A mechanical assembly beneath the seat provides the adjustable office-chair functionality while keeping the mechanism largely concealed when viewed from normal height.

The original manufacturer’s label underneath identifies United Chair Co., Inc. of Leeds, Alabama.

A strong example of American mid-century contract furniture with a versatile combination of chrome, dark upholstery, and wood. Well suited for use as a desk or executive chair in a home office, studio, or commercial interior.
