Very, very minimal wear to the metal. See images. There are a couple teeny, tiny spots on the underside of the chair that show rust formation. These couple areas are nearly hidden by the edges of the upholstery. The original upholstery presents 'fair.' There is fading, discoloration and worn/ fuzz areas, mainly at the edges, mostly from use and rubbing against the fabric. The upholstery on both pieces is still attached tightly and securely to the frame with the original hardware. Please note: You can purchase direct from Knoll new chair & ottoman covers or you may want to custom upholster with a fabric of your choice. A local Chicago upholster specializes in Bird chair covers. Please let me know if you'd like more information. less

I was really excited when I saw this chair! One of the early Harry Bertoia for Knoll Bird lounge chairs with matching ottoman. Circa 1960. Original labels on both the chair and the ottoman. Original upholstery. Black metal frame.
Originally designed in 1952, these ergonomic lounge chairs are both comfortable and stylish. Bertoia chairs are unique fusions of sculpture, space and industrial material. Bertoia designed both a simple grid of chrome-plated stainless steel rods and the molds that would shape them into functional and comfortable seats with a truly innovative appearance.
While the original upholstery is tired, the chairs are structurally in remarkable near-excellent condition. No issues, or repair.

Bird chair covers. Please let me know if you'd like more information.
