Condition

Overall very good condition consistent with age. The original canvas upholstery with light irregularity of color due to age and a small 3 in circular discoloration. There are light scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches, consistent with age and gentle use. There is one area along one wooden leg with a slight lightening of the natural wood which is not visible in the catalogue illustration, but not visually distracting. A popular model by Klint that inspired numerous designers and variations in the years following the initial concept, this example is executed in a lovely fumed ash and presents very well overall.
