About the Item

Awesome pair of Shelby Williams Mid-Century Modern swivel bucket chairs with chrome X base. Newly upholstered in bright red vinyl faux leather fabric. In beautiful vintage condition. Sadly, they were tagged when we purchased them, but the upholsterer mistakenly disposed of the tag. Bases have been polished and there is some minor age-related chrome pitting. Please see photos, circa 1950s-1960s. Can you just imagine sitting in the local diner, sipping on a milkshake, swiveling back and forth in these bright red vinyl bucket chairs while flirting with your sweetie across the table? We sure can!! What an awesome pair of Shelby Williams Mid-Century Modern swiveling bucket chairs! Current day Shelby Williams specializes in commercial chairs and we have a good suspicion that these beauties could have previously been used as restaurant chairs or in some other commercial situation such as a swanky Mid-Century Modern office lobby. They are comprised of newly upholstered bright red vinyl fabric, and while it looks fabulous, they unfortunately lost their Shelby Williams tags when the upholsterer mistakenly disposed of them. So, while we know they are definitely Shelby Williams, sadly they are missing their tags. The swiveling bucket seats are held up by a chrome cylinder tube and a Classic X chrome base. These chairs would be the perfect addition to a dining or game table, but they would also pair nicely with a sofa to use as side chairs. They are very versatile and super comfortable. We think they are just to die for …. you need to 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...
