Donald Knorr: Model No. 132U
The innovative model No 132. U shared first prize at the “ International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design” in New York. The prototype seat shells were made from sheets of themoset plastic. Bent zinc-plated steel seating section on painted tubular steel legs.
This chair has a very unique look to it, I really enjoy the fact that it looks like either an oyster or half of a fortune cookie , the back part of the chair where the hole is taken out doesn’t really make since to me and isn’t explained why it is there but, I do think it does look esthetically pleasing to the eye.
