Product Description

A handmade re-edition of the Office Armchair with cross legs (X leg) designed for buildings in Chandigarh in the 1960s. Symmetric ‘X’ or ‘cross’ units on either side form a unified armrest and leg assembly. The curved backrest is freestanding and bowed. The X legged version of the Office Chair was not made in very large quantities; the V legged version was produced in far larger numbers in the prolific period between the mid 1950s to mid 1970s.
