The frames have scratches consistent with age and on two of the chairs the texture on the vinyl is a bit different than the third chair. These chairs also have an extra factory hole in the arm on opposite sides leading us to believe these may have been originally part of a ganged set. They work perfectly as singles, however. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. less

Kem Weber was born in Berlin, Germany and went to the School of Applied Arts there and studied under Bruno Paul graduating in 1912. Weber went on to work in Paul's office, having previously assisted his tutor in the design of the German pavilion at the 1910 “Exposition Universalle” in Brussels. Bruno Paul sent him to San Francisco, California in 1915 as his assistant to supervise work on the German pavilion being built for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which changed Kem Weber’s career. The onset of WWI left him stranded in the United States where he became a citizen in 1924. Weber then established an independent industrial design studio in Hollywood, where he also designed modern sets for films and private residences. The inclusion of his work in the 1928 'International Exposition of Art in Industry' held by New York store Macy's cemented his reputation and he went on to design many products for a wide variety of companies including Widdicomb, Berley & Gay, Friedman Silver, and Lawson Time. Many of his designs, such as the copper 'Zephyr' desk clock (1933), can be classified as “Streamline Moderne.” Weber's most famous work is probably the "Airline" chair of 1934, which exemplified the clean, streamlined style of the age, with its seat supported by a cantilevered frame reminiscent of wooden aircraft components. Most surviving examples come from the batch of 300 made for the Walt Disney Studios, largely handmade. Weber is also noted for being the main architect of the Walt Disney Studios in California.
