This chair design is significant as it is one of the first office seating collections designed to be upholstered with no sewing. The fabric is affixed to the edges of the structural cushion elements, which are locked together by connectors on the arm or side elements. This early production version with the four-legged base was favored by Schultz.
Signed with decal manufacturer's label to underside: [Stow Davis Furniture Company Grand Rapids MI].
