AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Modernica Case Study Fiberglass Armchair
A beautiful and iconic Case Study Fiberglass armchair by Modernica, featuring the unmistakable organic shape of the classic mid-century modern shell chair.
The chair combines a dark charcoal-coloured fiberglass shell with warm wooden maple dowel legs and black metal cross-bracing. The colour is a mix of black, brown and grey. The contrast between the sculptural shell and the natural wood creates a timeless expression of mid-century design.
Modernica produces this chair as part of its Case Study collection. Although the design is closely associated with Charles and Ray Eames, Modernica does not have the rights to market it under the Eames name and therefore uses the name Case Study Chair.
The chair on auction were manufactured in 2010-15 and are in overall good condition with natural patina. It have been well taken care of. There are traces of use especially on the armrest and on the legs - see closeup pictures. There is a surface scratch on the front on the upper back.
A timeless design classic with a strong architectural presence and a distinctive vintage aesthetic. Perfect as a dining chair, in a creative workspace or as a statement piece in a modern interior.
Dimensions (approx.):
* Overall height: 80 cm
* Width: 63.5 cm
* Depth: 58.5 cm
* Seat height: 44.5 cm
