Riccardo Forti

The Mandarin chair by Ettore Sottsass for Knoll, 1986.
The Mandarin Chair was a particular favorite for corporate interiors, restaurants and libraries. Its flowing, sculptural arm invoked the turn-of-the-century bentwood designs of Thonet, and was available in a variety of different color finishes that afforded the design a level of adaptability.
As the original press release noted, “The chair’s character changes with its finishes, from high-tech to traditional.” 
Good overall condition, fabric looks very good, some paint scratches on the armrest.
