Catalogue Note
The iconic "Klismos" chair design by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings was included in many of his important commissions beginning in the early 1940s. Saridis in Athens began production of a larger series of classical Greek inspired designs in 1961. The present lot, including an extremely rare footstool, was part of a Greek themed window installation at Dayton's department store in Minneapolis in the 1970s.
