These large, heavy duty loungers are just as much sculpture as they are chair, without sacrificing a morsel of comfort. Yes, they are very comfortable. The chairs retain their original white lacquered plywood bases. There is some loss to the lacquer along the bottom of the chairs, revealing the warm plywood beneath. We love the wear, however we know it's not for everyone, so if you prefer to have that touched up, we can assist with that upon purchase. The rest of the chairs have been fabulously restored in a striking ribbony mohair, each chair stitched meticulously by hand. These early examples are very uncommon, especially as a pair. They are sure to make even your most design savvy friend jealous. These early example chairs are unsigned, though we 100% guarantee their authenticity! See less
