Vintage Mid Century Office Chair
A handsome vintage 1960s office chair by United Chair Company, featuring sculptural walnut armrests, a sleek black steel frame, and a polished chrome rolling base.
The chair retains its original teal tweed upholstery, a color that feels both classic and fresh in modern interiors. The warm walnut arms contrast beautifully with the chrome base, creating the kind of refined mid-century look often seen in architect and executive offices of the era.
Originally designed as commercial office seating, these chairs were built for durability and comfort and remain wonderfully functional today. The chair swivels smoothly and includes its original height adjustment mechanism.
This piece would be perfect styled at a writing desk, in a creative studio, or as a distinctive accent chair for a home office.
A timeless example of American mid-century modern design.
