About the Item

Three chairs available -- Price is per chair. Discount available if purchasing multiple. Designed by American architect William Katavolos circa 1950's, New York. The spring mechanism beneath the frame adjusts the tilt/recline while a second mechanism adjusts the height. The chairs also swivel 360 degrees. They are very comfortable and spacious. All chairs are in original condition and the thick tan-brown leather has a great patina, as do the iron frames. A few markings and spots of denting are shown throughout on the leather seats, but they are still strong and without any structural damage or rips. These chairs are often referred to as his "K" chair. Chair Dimensions: 38" H x 27" W x 20" D (Height is adjustable by 3 inches).
