Disney Quest Aluminum Armillary Chairs by Jordan Mozer Set of 5

About the Item

Created for Chicago and Orlando's Disney Quest in 1995, the "Armillry Chair" is a stunning contribution to the world of the design. Crafted from the genius of Jordan Mozer, this solid aluminum chair looks like it jumped off the screen from a Ridley Scott film. Rarely do we see such a thoughtful blend of modern design and sinister sci-fi inspiration. The anthropomorphic spine-like back support, replete with vertebrae, has a generous curve that makes a bold statement about the spirit of the chair. Set of 5 chairs. Burgundy vinyl piping frames out the tan ochre mohair back cushions and also match the seats. We're not certain if the seat vinyl is the original, but we know that seats were in fact burgundy while in use for Disney. Born in 1995 for the Disney Quest entertainment venues, these “Armillary Chairs” by Jordan Mozer fuse sculptural drama with industrial craftsmanship. The frame is solid cast aluminum-magnesium alloy, originally carved in maple as a prototype then reproduced in the recycled metal, polished and welded into form. The backs feature a spine-like armillary motif, a futuristic silhouette. Upholstery includes mohair back cushions in tan-ochre with bold burgundy vinyl piping that alphabetically frames them—they may be either original or restored in a style faithful to the original Disney Quest presentation. These chairs were salvaged from Chicago’s Disney Quest, giving them cultural as well as aesthetic provenance. They are rare designs: examples appear in design fairs and online auctions, but seldom in pairs, with frames this well preserved and upholstery maintained or sympathetically refreshed. Condition: Very minor imperfections in the vinyl seats—faint marks visible only under close inspection. Newer mohair fabric on back supports is in excellent condition. Aluminum has been cleaned and polished. Frames are solid
