This set is a wonderful example of California Mid-Century Modern design, combining graceful lines of the ancient Greek Klismos chair with lightweight, architectural aluminum constructing. This rare set consists of four matching dining chairs. The four chairs feature open woven lattice-pattern aluminum seat and back, with the narrow horizontal backrest gently curving around the sitter. The legs sweep outward in opposing curves. The repetition of the square latticework gives the chairs a graphic, architectural quality that feels remarkably contemporary more than sixty years after their manufacture. The classic white finish further emphasizes the set's lightness and makes it especially effective in a garden or poolside setting.
Chairs measure 29"H x 21"W x 23.5"D; 15" Seat Height, 18.5" Seat Depth.

In modern settings, these chairs would be striking on a covered patio, pool terrace, garden courtyard, veranda, or screened lanai. This set would complement Palm Beach, Hollywood Regency, Mid-Century Modern interiors. They would also work beautifully in a Mediterranean, or Italian-inspired courtyard. Because the design is unusually refined for patio furniture, it could readily move indoors into a sunroom, breakfast room, of enclosed porch. Comparable Thinline Klismos sets are specifically marketed for both indoor and outdoor use. See less
