AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and rare vintage barber chair in the iconic Space Age style, dating from the 1970s. This futuristic design is an absolute eye-catcher and perfect to use as a unique desk chair, retro focal point in a modern interior, or as a decorative piece in a salon or shop. The chair is constructed from a sturdy, organically shaped crest/frame of cream-white plastic (resin/glass fiber) and sits on a heavy, stable metal tulip base (swivel). Both the seat, the backrest, and the armrests are fitted with the original, characteristic tufted upholstery in dark brown faux leather with vertical seams.
The chair is in a beautiful, authentic vintage condition with patina that matches the age and professional use. The faux leather of the seat shows light, superficial drying cracks/wear in the folds (see photos), which adds to the well-worn character of this unique object. The swivel mechanism and the base function properly.
