It was designed by the legendary French luxury designer, Jacques Adnet, in the midcentury. This piece is from his stitched leather series which he created in the 1950s. This series consisted of many metal furniture pieces such as tables, chairs, desks and lamps, which were all given a leather skin. This skin was stitched by hand, a very time consuming process. And because of that, Adnet's stitched items were very high end and very expensive for their time. It is in blue leather and has those nice handmade stitches. This was procured from the original owner and was taken very good care of. The leather is, in contrast to many other survived items by Adnet, in very good condition for its age. Only normal traces of use. A very collectable item because of its rarity and condition. less
