Wright designed midway chair 1 (wood) and midway chair 2 (steel) in 1914 for the indoor and outdoor spaces of midway, respectively. (The original FLW sketch for midway 2 is included as Image 10). Unfortunately, the project ran out of funds by the time it came to furniture production and so FLW's designs were not realized at the time. In 1986, the FLW Foundation and Cassina worked together to produce the midway 2 chair in a limited edition. Enameled steel rod, available in either white, orange-red, dark grey (available here) and blue. It was available without or without the gadded back and featured simple cream white fabric upholstery. The matching tables were sold with round or square crystal glass tops. Each numbered and stamped by manufacturer and FLW foundation. Here we have a set of six midway 2 Chairs, in charcoal grey, original finish and fabric (5 cream, two red), signed and numbered, some chairs with original tags (!), as well as two Midway 3 bases, gray, also signed and numbered. Extremely rare to come across a double set (for 6). Original square and round 1/2 glass (pictured in image 3) tops, excellent condition, included upon request.
