wanted to make a chair from one piece of material but this wasn’t possible at
the time so the chair had to be made from four pieces. It is not particularly
comfortable but it’s simplicity and beauty are what make it a great chair.
Later examples were painted white with green or red edges. The back is joined
to the seat with a dovetail joint. It is included in the permanent collection
of the Museum of Modern Art. It is available in natural ash or cherry wood as
well as stained in red, blue, yellow, white and black.

This chair’s thin steel tubes and slender seat look like one continuous curvy form. It’s lack of
traditional sturdy arms and legs gives it a light, minimal and contemporary
look. This chair is stackable up
to 4 chairs.
