Description / Expertise
Made from a single sheet of cut and bent birch ply. Produced 1935-40
There is no design that better illustrates the ideal unity of material, production and form than this armchair by Gerald Summers. However, the production costs of this Modernist masterpiece were so high that only120 were made.
