THIS IS NOW SOLD 1960’s Mod Tulip Style Pedestal Lounge Chair

THIS IS NOW SOLD This fantastic mod lounge / arm chair is made of injection moulded plastic. There are no makers marks to identify who made it. There are two U.S. patent numbers on the metal swivel mechanism on the base of the chair that were issued in 1966 and 1961, so believe that this chair was made in the late 1960’s. Although I do not know who the designer was, but they were clearly influenced by Eero Saarinen Tulip chair design that he did for Knoll in 1958. The fantastic bright yellow (much brighter than it appears in the pictures) cushion liner looks fantastic against the bright white of the chair itself.. The chair does have some crazing to the plastic. There are also some edge chipping to the back edges of the chair. However these things are really only noticeable when one is up close to the chair. I like to think of those things as adding character, after all the chair is over 40 years old. The chair measurements are as follows. 32 inches deep measured off the wall, 34 inches wide, 25 inches high at the back 15 inches high at the seat. The chair is sturdy and fairly comfortable, and the swivel mechanism is smooth. This would be an essential part of any space age bachelor pad, or mid century loft.
