Ettore Sottsass Postmodern Memphis 1986 Ettore Sottsass For Knoll Mandarin Armchairs, A Pair

Product Details

Product Description

These Mandarin armchairs by the renowned Italian designer Ettore Sottsass are both striking and genuine. Sottsass, who was originally from Austria, gained widespread recognition in the 1980s for his bold, colorful, and uniquely eccentric postmodern furniture designs for the Memphis group in Milan, which he founded in 1980. The Mandarin chair, introduced in 1986, is a highly functional piece featuring a single-piece arm-rail that gracefully wraps around the seats and back, reminiscent of Thonet's design. This pair of chairs is a wonderful example of Sottsass's talent as both an architect and designer, and they come with Knoll labels as a testament to their authenticity. The chairs boast a tubular steel structure painted in glossy black, with a padded seat and back covered in a green fabric featuring a cubist pattern in shades of beige, blue, and green. The undulating arms are particularly characteristic of Sottsass's work, and the chairs' dimensions are 32.5 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 23 inches deep, with a seat height of 17.5 inches. Please note that the price is for the pair of chairs.
