Rare Early 1950's Knoll Model 145 Chairs (2)
A pair of seldom seen, early Knoll Model 145 chairs, designed by Kurt Nordstrom in 1954 for Knoll International. Produced only until 1960, these elegant chairs were created in Teak veneer with black tubular steel frames/legs, and have solid brass fittings. Very good condition with minor marks/scratches commensurate with their age. One chair has a missing spot of base veneer on the underside of the seat (see photos), and another small area with veneer that is intact but should be re-glued. Both of these spots are not visible unless the chair is upside down. Minor surface oxidation at some of the weld points on underside of chairs. Feet/gliders are solid birch, and both chairs retain their original early 50’s fabric Knoll labels. Fully original as far as we can tell with no modifications or structural damage, and sturdy enough to be used by us as occasional chairs in a design office for the past decade. These are museum-quality objects, measuring about 17.25″ wide by 19.25″ deep by 30.75 high. The item “Rare Early 1950’s Knoll Model 145 Chairs (2)” is in sale since Monday, March 16, 2020.
