Lot Description

RICHARD SCHULTZ (AMERICAN B. 1926) Pair of prototype stacking side chairs

Circa 1960 for Knoll, sisal fiber and enameled aluminum, Knoll labels to underside.
H: 32 in.
note:
The Schultz stacking chair did make it into production at Knoll for a short time, but with solid fiberglass seats. The present lot was created using sisal fiber for the seat and an experimental foam and glue bonding process resulting in the discoloration in the seat. While the split seat seen in the prototype was key to Shultz's original design, it proved to be difficult to upholster and was changed to a solid seat.
