Each chair features the model’s distinctive enveloping shell with gracefully curved arms, an open lower back, and a generously padded seat, creating a fluid silhouette from every angle. The chairs are upholstered in a textured abstract woven fabric in muted blue, charcoal, olive, and gray tones, giving the pair a particularly authentic period character. Five-star black metal bases with polished metal accents and rolling casters complete the design, allowing the chairs to swivel and move easily. Knoll manufacturer labels remain present underneath, further documenting their provenance. Sold as a set of two, these are an especially appealing vintage iteration of one of Saarinen’s most recognizable seating designs.

Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The original-style patterned upholstery presents well overall with visible fading and tonal variation, most notably across the seat cushions, along with light surface wear and minor marks. The upholstered shells and cushions remain intact with no significant tears visible. The metal bases show expected scuffs, scratches, and finish wear from use, while the casters exhibit typical age-related wear. Both chairs retain their Knoll labels underneath. Overall, the pair presents attractively with an appealing, naturally aged vintage character.
