-
Description
A rotating stool made from a Warren McArthur designed aircraft navigational stool created in 1947 for Grumman Aircraft Corporation.
The Grumman Albatross SA-16 was developed as an amphibious seaplane specifically designed for search and rescue.
There were 466 planes produced between 1949 - 1961.
The base for this stool is is a two tiered disc combination of black industrial plastic mounted on a black enameled steel disc. The frame of the navigational stool is rmounted on four steel pipes to bring the seat height of 27".
The dramatic increase in the height accentuates the sculptural qualities of Warren McArthur 's design.
The stool is in very good condition and will be re-upholstered to your liking..
I have 8 examples available subject to prior sale. -
