Vintage Postmodern Dakota Jackson Vik, Ter 1 Orange Dining Chairs Set of 8

About the Item

Awesome vintage Postmodern Dakota Jackson Vik–Ter 1 dining chairs comprised of black iron frames, orange molded plywood seat and backs, and maple veneer. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. However, they have been completely refinished in their original color. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa Late 20th century. Bold and beautiful!! This is a phenomenal set of 8 gorgeous vintage postmodern orange Dakota Jackson Vik-Ter 1 dining chairs with black welded steel bases. Their original home was the Topeka Public Library which in 1998 was redesigned by the internationally renowned architect Michael Graves. The 100,000 square foot addition project’s furniture was completely specified by him as well. Not so coincidentally, Michael Graves collaborated with celebrity designer Dakota Jackson to design some of the most avant-garde and high style furniture in the 1980’s, including such works as the Vik-Ter dining chair. This chair design includes a welded steel frame with a cross stretcher and molded plywood seat and back. The Vik-Ter chair received a silver award for environmental design in the 1992 Industrial Design Excellence Awards and was shown in exhibitions at The Weatherspoon Art Gallery, Museum of Arts and Designs, and Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. They are going to look magnificent surrounding your dining table or they would be equally as fabulous around the conference table at the office! They would be wonderful seating at a game table or extra seating in the family room. They are truly a work of art produced by an iconic duo of designers and will blend in beautifully with many design styles. Surely, you’ve fallen in love with them as much as we have!

  • Broyhill Brasilia Dining Chairs Original Set of 10 Mid-Century Modern, 1962-1970
    By Broyhill Brasilia
    Located in Topeka, KS
    Iconic Mid-Century Modern Broyhill Brasilia original set of 10 dining chairs, 2 arm and 8 sides. Dark walnut and new dark blue/black upholstery. In fabulous vintage condition apart from one side chair that had a broken back rail that has been repaired by our experienced staff. Please see photos, circa 1962-1970. Their iconic sculpted design inspired by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer is extremely desirable and sought after. Finding an original set of ten is rare! They have been re-upholstered in a fabric that is an ongoing debate here as to whether it is blue or black. Depending on the light some of us say blue and some say black, but either way, they are absolutely stunning. They are comprised of deep sultry walnut and the backs of the chairs bear the elegant triple Brasilia arches. Their high backs, tapered legs and sturdy frame unify their comfort. These will be wonderful encompassing any dining room table. The Brasilia Collection is Mid-Century Modern in style but borders on Brutalist although it would be beautiful in an Industrial or modern country setting as well. It is no coincidence that The Brasilia collection design is very architectural in style. It was introduced to the public at the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962 and drew its inspiration from the architecture of the newly created and majestic Capital of Brazil, Brasilia. The brochure for Brasilia by Broyhill Premier says…….”Brasilia…the city…by its daring and beauty has revolutionized architecture and opened vast new horizons of design. From this inspired dream, Broyhill Premier drew inspiration for the furniture grouping which bears the Fine young name: BRASILIA.” This line was extremely popular with the furniture buying public and is still sought out today. Broyhill ended production of this successful line sometime in the 1970s...
