A Pair of Katavalos, Littell, and Kelly - T-Chairs
About the Item
Katavolos, Kelley, and Littell, chair, black steel, enamelled steel and original cognac leather, United States, c. 1950.
A set of three-legged iconic mid-century modern leather chairs - both sculptural and functional. The leather is connected to the frame on three points only resulting in a floating seat. The steel frame holds the leather by means of three separate T-shaped metal rods that are connected via a black connective T. Hence the nickname T-chair.
In 1952 William Katavolos, Douglas Kelley and Ross Littell, graduates of The Pratt Institute in New York embarked on a six year collaboration in designing textiles, dinnerware and furniture at Laverne which was established in 1938. One of their most popular designs was the T-chair. The chair is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
