Robert Venturi Post-Modern 'Sheraton' Chair for Knoll International, c. 1985
$0.00
This rare and sought after collectors chair is called the 'Sheraton' chair by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown for Knoll International, circa 1985. Post-Modern functional art ready to be used as a stand-alone sculpture or as a chair.
This design was part of the 'Venturi Collection' for Knoll which was introduced in 1985 shortly after they (Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown) helped design Knoll's New York showroom. The Venturi Collection was a postmodernist’s interpretation of historical chairs which Venturi describes as “modern technology and historic symbolism, traditional symbolism and modern symbolism, comfort and elegance, function and wit, high purpose and fun.”
Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown produced nine variants of the Venturi Collection side chairs for Knoll in 1984, each suggesting a specific historical furniture style.
As these seminal chairs were not mass produced and released similarly to an art collection and not like regular furniture, they are now highly-sought-after collector's item and would make a unique addition to any space and an apt conversation starter.
CONDITION: Good vintage condition with some scuffs, scratches, dings and minor chips.
