Pair of Red Velvet Lounge Chairs attributed to Bill Stephens for Knoll 1315

A lovely pair of 1315 Chairs, also known as the Stephens Chair, designed by Bill Stephens for Knoll in the mid 1960s.  They feature a bentwood frame with a contoured form and loose seat and lumbar cushions.  The chair is well known for it's comfortable design and is often compared to Saaarinen's Womb chair.  

The frames construction involves skillfully laminate bentwood and joinery.  The chair was originally designed for the Yale School of Architecture's lounge between 1965 - 1967.  You won't find a more comfortable chair.

This set was sold to the previous owner by a well known dealer in Chicago.  That dealer had them professionally reupholstered in a Knoll velvet - tomato colorway.  The original labels were lost during reupholstery but the previous owner saw the labels prior to purchase.  They've been gently used since reupholstery.  There is some light crushing to the velvet in some places (see close ups) and light scratches to the frames (especially closest to the floor).

Dimensions are:  29"W x 29"D x 30"H. Seat height is 17.75" Arm height is 22"
