Tuxedo Chair
By Gordon Bunshaft and Davis Allen for SOM
Tuxedo Chair
Description
This is a Tuxedo Club Chair, designed by Davis Allen under the leadership of Gordon Bunshaft within SOM. The detailing is typical of Davis Allen's work, with an emphasis on perfectly sharp lines and corners. The chair has a highly polished stainless-steel base with long thin ribbon rubbing horizontally, and retains its original red fabric upholstery. SOM produced hundreds of their own furniture designs during the 1950s to 1980s, and this is a classic example.
The chair measures 32.25 inches in length and width, and is 25.75 inches high. The polished stainless-steel base is in good condition with some scuffs and scratches. The front left leg is slightly bent. We will bend it straight prior to shipping. The upholstery fabric shows some sun fading and discoloration, and there is a pull on one of the arms. Overall, this chair is in good vintage condition. Please see photos.

What is Freight shipping?
Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.
Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.
