Rare work stool produced by the Chromcraft Corporation in 1944, authentic testimony of the American industrial design of the Second World War.
This model represents a refined functional and stylistic evolution of the stool designed by Gio Ponti for the Montecatini offices in 1938, reinterpreted in an American key with a more technical approach, essential and oriented towards serial production.
Designed for workshops, technical environments and workshops, the stool combines constructive solidity, ergonomics and functional design.
The structure consists of a robust five -spoke -painted black -painted cast iron base, mounted on original piroethoetto wheels, which guarantees perfect stability and mobility.
The seat and the back, stuffed and covered in original vinyl of the time in excellent condition Bordeaux, show a beautiful vintage patina, with signs of usury consistent with professional use, which increase its authentic charm.
The mechanical screw system allows height adjustment, while the backrest is supported by an arched metal structure with a reclining system, which emphasizes the engineering approach of design. The compact proportions and the technical character make it ideal not only as a work chair, but also as an interior sculptural piece with an industrial or vintage style.
Although produced by Chromcraft, this stool shares many structural and aesthetic characteristics with the famous model created by Emeco in the same years, present on the cover of the book "A Taxonomy of Office Chairs" by Jonathan Olivares. Both models belong to the same functionalist design genealogy, characterized by a shared industrial language, where form and function coincide directly and essentially.
Coming from a military base it presents itself in excellent general condition with some small sign of the time that does not compromise its functionality and aesthetics, on the contrary they give tangible testimony of the 80 years and more that has this beautiful object.
