Henry Glass Prototype Stacking Chairs
About the Item
designer ahead of his time in his concerns with pre-fabrication, modularity, affordability, waste, 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, and canvas. The
two chairs offered here, which have visual references to Gerald Summers and
Rietveld, came directly from Henry Glass in the late 1990's, and are, according to
Henry, the only examples of this design that were fabricated.
