Rattan Cube Swivel Chairs

This is a pair of Rattan Cube Swivel Chairs, designed by Harvey Probber for his Artisan Collection in 1977. The listed price includes the pair of two chairs as shown. Probber visited Haiti in the mid-70’s with the intention of enlisting indigenous craftspeople to produce his designs with their native fibers. This effort precipitated the limited production “Artisan Collection”. The line included chairs, tables, sofas, and cabinets. These particular chairs are formed of Latania, a genus of flowering plant in the Palm family. The boxy seats rest on brushed bronze swivel bases, and they have custom upholstered seat and back cushions.

Each chair measures 30.25 inches long, 30.5 inches wide, and 27.75 inches high. Their seat height is 14.25 inches, and their arm height is 22.5 inches. There are some missing reeds here and there, and there is a minor stain on one cushion. There is also some discoloration of the clear lacquer on both chairs, and there is wear near the bottoms. Overall, this rare pair is in very good condition. Please see photos.
