It has a deep, enveloping egg shape with a high winged back. The back has four buttons and a V-shaped top seam, and the arms sweep round in one continuous curve. A loose, thickly padded seat cushion sits inside the shell.

The chair has been newly reupholstered in red skai with a fine crackle grain, which gives it the warm look of aged leather. The new upholstery follows the original design, including the buttons and seams. Skai is durable and easy to clean, so the chair is ready for daily use.

The chair turns smoothly on its original four-star swivel base. The legs are steel with dark wood-tone tops, and they meet at a chromed central hub.

It’s in very good condition. The upholstery is new, the structure is solid and the swivel works well. The base shows minor signs of age that fit its period. It’s a comfortable, eye-catching statement chair for a living room, reading corner or studio.
