- Details

This is a high quality chair inspired by the iconic chair originally created for the German Pavilion of the 1929 International Exposition held in Spain.

Our Exhibition chair frame is constructed from premium #304 grade solid bar stock stainless steel, 12mm thick. All joints are fully welded, sealed, and seamless. The frame is hand-polished to a mirror-like finish. Four snaps attach the back cushion to the frame; 4 snaps attach the bottom cushion to the frame. For an extra charge, we can powder coat the frame in one of our 4 standard colors or specify your own.

The cushion surfaces consist of 40 individual top-grain leather panels; each piece is cut and hand-sewn using a hand-rolling welting technique not found in other similar chairs on the market. The seat and back cushions are filled with high resilient - high density polyurethane foam that is CAL117 flame test rated. The cushions are supported by leather straps riveted to the frame and whose top and side edges match upholstery color. Front and top corners of the cushions have no exposed seams. Buttons are about the size of a dime and are made with the same leather as the cushions.

Compared to the other similar chairs on the market, ours is much more comfortable and better made.

Our Standard Leathers (denoted with the prefix L1) are top-grain, aniline-dyed, and then color corrected with a slight embossing to create a more uniform grain pattern.
