1 1305U Knoll Bill Stephens Armchair
Located in Pasadena, TX
Bill Stephens started at Knoll as an assistant prototype builder after his graduation from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art. He first tried to make a cane chair on a minimal frame without success. He then changed the seat to a plastic shell that, when connected to the frame, formed a total structure; with this design innovation, the 1305U chair was born. It was originally designed for installation at the Yale School of Architecture student center.

Set of 4 Gastone Rinaldi Chromed Steel Dining Chairs for RIMA, Italy, 1970s
By RIMA, Gastone Rinaldi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Designed by Gastone Rinaldi for RIMA in the 1970s, this set of four Space Age chromed steel chairs epitomizes Italian modernism at its sleekest. With fluid cantilevered frames and sculptural wire-form seats, these chairs reflect Rinaldi’s fascination with futuristic lines and ergonomic clarity. Their lightweight, minimalist aesthetic nods to the Bauhaus tradition while embracing the optimism of the Space Age movement.
The gleaming chrome-plated steel construction is both strong and sculptural, with a continuous bent-tube form that adds a dynamic visual rhythm to any interior. Equally compelling as a full dining suite or styled individually.
No cushions are included however seat and back cushions can be crafted easily for this set. Contact us for details.
These Rinaldi chairs are perfect in a Mid-Century Modern, Space Age, Italian Modern, Postmodern, or Contemporary interior — but also create compelling contrast in Industrial, Transitional, or Minimalist settings.
Incredibly versatile in use: ideal as dining chairs, side chairs, café chairs, game chairs, breakfast table chairs, occasional chairs, office guest chairs, or entryway and hallway chairs. Their sculptural form and light footprint make them an excellent option for retail displays, conference or meeting room chairs...

Vintage, New and Antique Side Chairs
Antique and vintage side chairs are space savers by design and wonderfully versatile pieces of seating for your dining room or wherever guests may gather.
Chairs have been indispensable pieces of furniture for a long time. We sit, therefore we deserve good seating. In Ancient Egypt, chairs were utilized in homes regardless of class, and most furniture was made of wood. Comfortable folding chairs, for example, were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Chairs evolved to be more commonplace in the 1830s, and by the Industrial Revolution, they could be found in most homes. The traditional wooden side chair might feature an upholstered back and seat and was typically used for gathering around a big dining room table. Because the side chair does not feature armrests, it could easily be tucked under the table when not in use or delicately placed in a corner for decorative purposes. Today, the side chair’s slim silhouette and armless design still offer the same level of versatility as it did in its early days. It’s supportive of a large gathering for a meal in the dining room or kitchen and serves as an accent piece (or extra seating) resting against the wall in a living room or inviting foyer.
When shopping for side chairs, think about the colors and furniture style you’ve already introduced to your living room or dining room. Keep the height of your sofa in mind, for example. If you intend to pair your sofa with your side chair when it’s not perched near the dining table, it wouldn’t hurt if the height of your side chair matches the height of your sofa. Even if your side chair will largely be used in the kitchen or dining room, it will likely be used in the living room or home entertainment area as well. When you’re thinking about the seating where meals are served in your home, benches, stools and armchairs make suitable alternatives too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, combining a variety of dining room seating options can be both aesthetically pleasing and downright practical.
Side chairs are available in a number of styles today, and this convenient seating is one of the types of chairs you should know when furnishing your new home. Explore antique and vintage side chairs on 1stDibs. Find Art Deco side chairs and mid-century modern side chairs, or search by creator to find side chairs crafted by legendary designers like Charles and Ray Eames and others.
