Condition

Overall in very good condition. The chair is immaculately white with a bright finish from the lacquer. The surface with a few minor surface scratches and minute abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The lacquer with a few minor inherent irregularities and a few minor losses, some of them visible in the catalogue illustration, one to the proper left front edge of the chair, the largest measuring approximately 1 x ΒΌ in. to the proper right back edge of the chair. An outstanding example of a highly innovative design exploring the possibilities of digital technology. -----
