The Reis Chair is a masterpiece of structure, paying tribute to early modernism's gravity-defying skyscrapers. Designed by our studio in Istanbul to have a cantilevered base, the Reis offers the comfort of an armchair without the old-line stuffiness or bulk of upholstery. Weighty bar stock steel lends the chair its strength and boasts seamless joints and hidden hardware. A lengthy triple-plate chroming process ensures a resilient, rust-resistant mirror-quality finish. The padded seat is upholstered in with various fabric/material options for long-enduring appearance retention and ease of maintenance-two especially important features for offices and waiting areas.
