THIS IS NOW SOLD Vintage Eero Saarinen Executive Arm Chair with Metal Legs for Knoll Blue A

THIS IS NOW SOLD Fresh out of storage and for sale here is a vintage Eero Saarinen designed Executive Arm chair, manufactured by Knoll .I purchased several of these chairs a few years ago of the owner who purchased them off of IBM in the late 1980’s (all will be listed individually for sale on this website over the next few days) . Many of these chairs still retain their IBM inventory ID number (this chair does not). Discontinued for several years, Knoll has begun manufacturing them again, and they can be purchased from the Design Within Reach website for over $1500.00 US brand new: http://www.dwr.com/product/saarinen-executive-armchair-metal-boucle.do?sortby=ourPicks . This one is a vintage piece. The Knoll label was removed when this was re-upholstered in 1983 by IBM (other chairs have labels from the re-upholsterer indicating this, but this one does not). The color is Blue. As I mentioned this is just out of storage. It needs to be cleaned as it is dirty. The foam does have a spot or two of stiffening, but for the most part is still spongy and soft. The legs are clean and free from tarnish, but there is one small spot of surface rust on one leg. The feet do have some tarnish and rust on them. I imagine these could be buffed off fairly easily. . I have not done anything to clean or alter this chair. This is as I found it. This is a classic Mid Century design and are often featured on the set of Mad Men and many other television shows and movies. This would greatly compliment any Eames Era Mid Century modern living space, or add a slightly retro accent to any contemporary room. Here is your chance to own an original icon of Modern Design, at a fraction of the price. THIS IS NOW SOLD
