For your consideration to of six Knorr chairs. Comprised of sheet metal bolted to steel rod legs. This chair is exceptionally rare (a set of six in simply unheard of)

Only produced from 1950-1952 due to war time efforts with metal limitations. Before Knorr established his own firm (early 1950s) he worked under Saarinen. A true collectors item!

Original seat cushions are available for a template as they are terribly worn. (two available)
