About the Item

A metal framed swiveling, height-adjustable chair with reclining tension control in brown leather by American architect and designer William Katavolos for Leathercrafter. With its casters, it makes for a perfect office chair, but can also be used as a lounge chair. This chair was designed in the 1960s and is in excellent vintage condition, the mechanics have been brought back to the original specs and a new leather sling was made as per the original with copper rivets added to the stress points for years of use. One of the finest examples available of this rare design.
