Mira Nakashima
Conoid Cushion Chair (pair), 1991
Material: American black walnut, webbing, upholstery
Following the original Conoid chair, the Conoid Cushion Chair was introduced in the 1962 catalogue. This chair is celebrated for its sophisticated design, featuring an elegantly curved crest rail and front seat edge, a back composed of hickory spindles, and a very comfortable webbed seat.
Introduced in 1961, the Conoid line drew inspiration from the curved vault and outward-facing, lyrical space of the Conoid Studio.
These chairs are in excellent condition. They come with the original upholstered cushions and a copy of the order card. Signed and dated
