About the Item

"PIRATE" CHROME STEEL AND LEATHER LOUNGE CHAIR WITH STOOL Designed by Elsa & Nordahl Solheim, Norway circa 1960s Item # 209GQW17P A rich and interesting vintage lounge chair with the matching foot rest designed by Elsa & Nordahl Solheim of Norway. It is a precise chair with great angular lines executed in the layered heavy flat bars of chromed steel, all of which has been beautifully machined. The leather is probably original and in overall poor-to-fair condition - probably still serviceable, but they would look incredible together if recovered. The leather is supported by canvas that is slung to the frame. The curvature and bounce of the steel make the chair remarkably comfortable. We may still have the matching pair to this chair (but without a foot rest) available in our inventory. Measurements: 26 3/4" D x 34 7/8" H x 25" W; 18" H to seat [chair]; 20 1/4" D x 24 7/8" W x 17 1/2" H [stool] Condition Report: Chrome polished and cleaned, pitting and spots of chrome loss in a few areas. Leather is in overall "poor-to-fair" condition, overall being a bit dry, having tears and cracking, some discoloration/other blemishes; the headrest is tied to the frame with some black leather lacing; the canvas is in overall fair condition and works perfectly well to support the seat, but also has some wear/holes/blemish. They present beautifully together but naturally would be incredible once reupholstered.

Vintage 1970s Mies van der Rohe MR20 Leather and Chrome Armchair
By Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Located in Shippensburg, PA
An iconic chair by Mies van der Rohe, this fine chromed steel and saddle leather MR20 armchair remains in excellent vintage condition. Likely manufactured in the 1970s, it retains the original leather and a vibrant chromed surface. Note the lack of exposed screw joinery and the seamless rail, as opposed to the lower quality and generally later variations with screws at the shoulders. The chair features a wonderful "spring" when sitting in it, almost simulating a rocking chairs motion. The brown leather lacing is replaced. These were acquired as a set of 3 chairs from an individual estate and are being sold individually. The images reflect shots for the leather condition for each of the three chairs - if you have a preference of one chair versus another, reach out and we can make sure the correct chair is selected (if still available). If you need more than one chair, check the "available" quantity to see how many remain available or just reach out for details if you need more than one. We also may still have available a pair of MR black leather...
