Product description
Beautiful (very hard to find) 1960s George Nelson set of Leather Lounge Chairs, in their original first upholstery (buttery soft leather), that has developed a lovely patina, that shows their build quality and age really beautifully.
These chairs where only produced between 1956 - 1967. It has become very hard to find them, let alone a set. Luxurious items with a timeless design.
These are American Mid-Century Modernism icons that have been out of production for about 50 years. Designed by the famous George Nelson Office. Nelson was head of (director of) design at the Herman Miller company at that time.
Like a typical mid-century item, these are fairly small. For reference, see the photos I made of the 1960 Herman Miller (dealer) catalogue, that also state their dimensions.
The set of chairs is in a good, clean, honest/original/unrestored and perfectly useable condition. They have had 60 years of age and use, so there is obvious wear of the leather here and there. The big parts of the cushions, the seating and the back, are totally fine, but on the corners, the back, also and sides of the cushions there are small damages, traces of use. There are also some small damages to the the piping on the cushions. Please see all the photos. They give a good impression of the condition of the set.
See also the other auction for the accompanying 1960s George Nelson for Herman Miller 3-seater sofa, so -if desired- you can buy the complete seating group (combined shipping possible, of course)
Good, used, unrestored, condition. Photos give a good idea of the chairs condition.
