The T-Chair, designed by William Katavolos, Douglas Kelley and Ross Littell, is considered one of the most beautiful design chairs ever made and a personal favorite with a real "wow" factor.
This set of elegant and playful three-legged chairs, created in the 1960s, almost seems too delicate to sit on. But don't be fooled by their refined appearance; these minimalist chairs are exceptionally strong and of unparalleled quality. They combine aesthetic simplicity with functional robustness, a perfect balance that makes them a beloved icon in the design world.
The chairs still have their original saddle leather, which gives them an extra special character. The beautiful patina of the leather tells the story of decades of use and admiration, making each chair unique. The seat is attached to the frame at three points, creating an apparently floating seat that exudes a sense of lightness and elegance. The chairs have a round, sculptural shape and show refined details in both the seat and the legs.
William Katavolos, Douglas Kelley and Ross Littell, graduates of New York’s prestigious Pratt Institute, began a six-year collaboration in 1952, designing textiles, tableware and furniture for Laverne, founded in 1938. The T-Chair is without a doubt one of their most iconic and popular designs. It has even earned a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a testament to its timeless appeal and influence in the design world.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of design history - a set of chairs that makes both a visual and functional impression and effortlessly enriches any room.
