It was Pierre Scapula, decorator to Jackie and Aristotle Onassis, who spotted the then-unnamed design, first commissioned for a private residence in Acapulco, on the floor of Springer\u2019s East 61st Street showroom. Jackie ordered barstools for the couple\u2019s yacht, the <em>Christina O,<\/em> and dining chairs for their house on the Greek mainland. \u201cKarl was so happy such a style icon bought the chairs, he asked if they would mind if he named them the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/karl-springer-onassis-chair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Onassis chairs,<\/a>\u201d DeSanto says. The couple readily agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Springer\u2019s business had grown to include showrooms in Los Angeles, Munich, Tokyo and elsewhere when he died of AIDS in 1991. Decades after their heyday, his distinctive pieces are coming onto the market from estates, finding new life in new settings. \u201cI envision them in a large dining room,\u201d DeSanto says of the Onassis chairs. \u201cThey would look great in a big glass box in Malibu or a stainless-steel bachelor pad in Berlin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/springer-screen-det-700x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/karl-springer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscover More Karl Springer Designs on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/karl-springer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The extravagant furniture of designer Karl Springer stands out for the quality of its craftsmanship and the uniqueness of its style.
