Henry Glass Prototype "Sling-Line" Folding Chaise
About the Item
Chaise of tubular steel with plastic end caps and its original mesh sling. By Austrian/American designer Henry Glass, 1960’s. Prototype from his Sling-Line series of mobile and space-saving folding furniture. Glass worked with Gilbert Rohde in New York City in the late 1930’s and then studied in Chicago with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. He was ahead of his time in his concerns with pre-fabrication, modularity, affordability, and ecological responsibility. He was known for his knock-down furniture designs–chairs and tables that folded, nested, or stacked for easy mobility and space-saving flexibility. Austere and visually interesting, these designs utilized inexpensive materials such as plywood, masonite, tubular steel, and canvas. The clean-looking, architectonic lines of the present piece befit Glass’s training in architecture at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna. Provenance: From the collection of Henry Glass.
