Product description
Chromed tubular steel, black leather
29 in. (73.6 cm) high
Literature:
CREATIVE DESIGN, Fall 1934, n.p.
Designer's Choice, CREATIVE DESIGN, Summer 1935, n.p.
Donald Albrecht, Robert Schonfeld, Lindsay Stamm Shapiro, RUSSEL WRIGHT: CREATING AMERICAN LIFESTYLE, New York, 2001, p. 88 (for a period illustration of the model at Bloomingdale's, New York, 1934)
In the period article "Designer's Choice," a dozen designers, including Wright, Richard Neutra, Nathan Horwitt, Wolfgang Hoffmann and Kem Weber, were asked to "defend the chairs which illustrate their ideas on well planned seating." While Weber's iconic "Airline" chair has since been featured in numerous exhibitions, many of the other chairs by these noted designers are extremely rare and have never been exhibited. Wright's lounge chair, with its concealed joinery and slip-on arm pads, is his sole contribution to the tubular steel design canon.
