J. B. Blunk

Overall very good condition. This chair was recently sensitively restored. As it was in a humid tropic environment, restoration was needed to alleviate some of the conditions that arose with exposure to these elements, including the top portion of the seat that has been replaced, which is visible in the catalogue illustration. With minor surface scratches. The chair has a dramatic sculptural presence.
