About the Item
Fantastic vintage Art Deco set of 3 chrome tube and original black vinyl or faux leather chairs attributed to Kem Weber Z Chair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The frames have scratches consistent with age and on two of the chairs the texture on the vinyl is a bit different than the third chair. These chairs also have an extra factory hole in the arm on opposite sides leading us to believe these may have been originally part of a ganged set. They work perfectly as singles, however. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1920-1940’s.
Now THIS is a Triple-TREAT!!! We have not one, not two, but THREE fantastic vintage Art Deco chrome and black faux leather chairs attributed to Kem Weber’s Z chair. They are comprised of a fabulous chrome tube frame that actually forms a Z shape when you view them from the side. They are stylish, sturdy and have an ergonomically comfortable build. They are wearing their original beautiful black vinyl or faux leather on the seats and backs, and they SCREAM with styles of Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Streamline, Machine Age, Art Deco, and International and will be phenomenal in any room of your home! Whether at your breakfast nook, game, or card table, used as extra seating in the living or family room, or you could split them up and put one in each bedroom! This terrific trio has a timeless design that you are sure to love for many years to come.
Kem Weber was born in Berlin, Germany and went to the School of Applied Arts there and studied under Bruno Paul graduating in 1912. Weber went on to work in Paul's office, having previously assisted his tutor in the design of the German pavilion at the 1910 “Exposition Universalle” in Brussels. Bruno Paul sent him to San Francisco, California in 1915 as his assistant to supervise work on the German pavilion being built for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which changed Kem Weber’s career. The onset of WWI left him stranded in the United States where he became a citizen in 1924. Weber then established an independent industrial design studio in Hollywood, where he also designed modern sets for films and private residences. The inclusion of his work in the 1928 'International Exposition of Art in Industry' held by New York store Macy's cemented his reputation and he went on to design many products for a wide variety of companies including Widdicomb, Berley & Gay, Friedman Silver, and Lawson Time. Many of his designs, such as the copper 'Zephyr' desk clock (1933), can be classified as “Streamline Moderne.” Weber's most famous work is probably the "Airline" chair of 1934, which exemplified the clean, streamlined style of the age, with its seat supported by a cantilevered frame reminiscent of wooden aircraft components. Most surviving examples come from the batch of 300 made for the Walt Disney Studios, largely handmade. Weber is also noted for being the main architect of the Walt Disney Studios in California.
Comfort, Quality, and SUPERB style! This set of 3 chrome tube and black faux leather chairs attributed to Kem Weber’s Z chair have everything you’ve been searching for! So don’t wait! Make them YOURS!!!

Steelcase was founded as the Metal Office Furniture Company in 1912 by Peter M. Wege in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Metal Office Furniture Company's first products included fireproof metal safes and four-drawer filing cabinets which Wege invented and manufactured for the Macey Company. In 1914, the company received its first product patent for "The Victor," a fireproof steel wastebasket. The Victor gained popularity due to its light weight achieved through a patented process of bending flat steel at right angles to create boxes, and its ability to prevent fires at a time when smoking was common indoors, particularly in the workplace. In 1915, the company began manufacturing and distributing steel desks and in 1937, the company collaborated with Frank Lloyd Wright on office furniture. The partnership lasted two years and resulted in some of the first modern workstations. The company officially changed its name to Steelcase, Inc. in 1954 and became known as the leader of the furniture industry in the late 1960s due to the volume of its sales and in 1973, the company debuted the Series 9000 furniture line. Steelcase merged three of its subsidiaries, Brayton International, Metro Furniture...
