Description

Pierre Jeanneret created a wonderful scissor leg design for Knoll in the 1950s and was picked up in a perfect Scandinavian take by Folke Ohlsson for DUX about the same time. This pair is not yet identified as to designer - though does come out of France and likely late 1950s. The lightly stained oak frame has the classic scissor leg with simple frame terminated with paddle arms. Beautiful original light-colored textured wool upholstery.
