Mid Century Modern Massimo and Lella Vignelli for Knoll International Handkerchief Chairs in Red - 4 Piece Set
This Handkerchief chair was designed by the husband and wife team of Massimo and Lella Vignelli in 1983 when they returned to Knoll. Using compression molded plastics, they conducted a fabrication and design investigation that lasted 5 years, and ultimately captured the lightness and organic ease of a handkerchief drifting in the wind.
These vintage 'Handkerchief' chairs are in a classic and bold red. Chairs are made of red compression molded fiberglass and black steel wire. These chairs are stylish and super durable and will add a fun pop of color to any room.
