THESE ARE NOW SOLD! Pair of 1960s Tubular Steel Chrome Sling Chairs

These are now sold! For sale here is a matching set of 2 Chrome Lounge Chairs. They are exceptionally comfortable. They feature a chrome tubular frame with a brown corduroy sling fabric seat, upon which two brown corduroy fabric pillows are suspended. Although I can not find a label on these, the person I bought them off does recall buying them in the late 1960’s. Although they are clearly a 60’s design, whoever did design them clearly was influenced by Marcel Breuer ‘s Wassily Chair (for the Bauhaus) and Le Corbusier Basculant Chair. If you are handy with a needle and thread or are looking for a great set of candidates for re-upholstery to a more contemporary fabric these are the pair you. The fabric at the arms of the chairs has torn, but could be stitched back together fairly easily, if you decided to keep the original upholstery. The chrome is in excellent shape. I listed these on my website last year for 375.00 for the pair. This is a re-list at a greatly reduced sale price. These would look fantastic if re-upholstered in a more contemporary fabric or leather. I took pictures of the fronts back and sides. These would greatly compliment any Eames Era Mid Century modern living space. Or add a slightly retro accent to any contemporary room. SOLD!
