Pair of armchairs by Charles Pollock Chestnuts edition Knoll 60

Pair of 2 swivel armchairs of charles pollock. International knoll edition, brown leather. Good condition with brown that has patinated over time and an original leather of the 60s. Quite rare option for a 4-pointed base: original castors. (good states too) Even rarer thing: both armchairs have a 100% shell in perfect condition! No trace, cracking or tearing on each of the chairs. The leather can still last a few years and remains quite in its juice, especially after almost 60 years of activity! They were both in an osteopath's office in paris 16th. Seat height 48 cm. If you have any questions, don't hesitate! I can provide other photos if needed- history: designed and released in 1963 the pollock executive chair (with or without armrests) is an iconic armchair by american designer charles pollock. It is therefore designed by knoll in 1963 and is among the best-selling executive chairs in the history of office furniture design! The bond between pollock and knoll began when he (literally) crossed florence knoll in an elevator. Charles tells this incredible story in an interview with jonathan olivares (an industrial designer): "i had a very small apartment and I built this damn chair with my bare hands, because I absolutely wanted to work properly. One day I carried it in an elevator - it's heavy and very bulky! - and on leaving the elevator, I dropped florence knoll! I left, I was so embarrassed... So I decided to talk about it with my psychiatrist, who told me: "it's perfect! Now you write him a letter and you say you were so embarrassed and how much you love knoll and how hard you worked on this chair. "and she hired me." is the beginning of knoll and the infamous chair designer, charles pollock.
