Description
A pair of Eero Saarinen Executive Armchairs, custom ordered from Design Within Reach in 2019 and manufactured by Knoll. Upholstered in Knoll Textiles Rivington in Ash Grey, a heathered wool-blend weave in charcoal and silver-gray tones with subtle blue flecks. The legs are tubular polished chrome.
These chairs are in outstanding condition overall. The chairs have been used only sparingly to date and are ready to immediately decorate a dining room, living room, home office, or work office. The chairs are heavy for their size, sturdy, and quite comfortable.
Designed in 1950, the Executive chair is one of Knoll's most enduring designs - the sculpted shell and open arm cutouts give it a light, elegant profile that works equally well at a dining table, desk, or as pull-up seating.
Dimensions: 311/2" H * 26" W * 243/4" D; seat height 18"; arm height 25"
Current DWR retail is $3,064 each or $6,128 for a pair. These were purchased in 2019 for $2,800 each, so $5,600 for the pair. Now asking around half of that price.
