Executive Swivel Chair and Ottoman by Vincent Cafiero for Knoll

Creator: Vincent Cafiero - Knoll
Offered by: Machine Age

Description
This chair and ottoman is an iconic design by Vincent Cafiero, senior designer of Knoll’s famed Planning Unit from 1956 to 1967. Reflecting his preference for clean-lined rectangular forms, this low-backed version of his executive chair places a generous tufted seat on a swiveling five-point brushed aluminum base. The ottoman is also tufted and sits on a four-point base. The dimensions of the ottoman are 22.5" W x 23.5" D x 15.5" H.

Both pieces require reupholstering with new foam and fabric.
