Early Pair of Ward Bennett Scissor Chairs in Solid Oak with Original Olive Suede

Creator: Ward Bennett
Offered by: 20cdesign

Description
An exceptional early pair of Scissor chairs by iconic American designer Ward Bennett, featuring rare solid oak frames and original olive green suede upholstery. These chairs exemplify Bennett’s mastery of proportion, materiality, and understated luxury.
The sculptural oak frames are a seldom-seen variation, showcasing warm tones and crisp architectural lines that contrast beautifully with the olive suede. The original upholstery has aged gracefully, developing a soft patina that adds depth and character without compromising comfort. These chairs are as cozy as they are collectible.
Designed with Bennett’s signature ergonomic sensitivity, the Scissor chair offers a low, relaxed profile and generous seat—ideal for both lounging and admiring. Whether placed in a modernist interior or a more eclectic setting, this pair brings timeless sophistication and tactile warmth.
We can facilitate refinishing and reupholstery upon request.
