I had one once. It was my most prized possession. 😢

It’s not just a chair. It’s a piece of art.
it was also (easily) the most expensive thing I had ever owned, and I grabbed it off the curb. often I would just stare at it, because it was beautiful.
Airline lobby bench seating.
These chairs go for $2500 a pop (for a reproduction). You’re not gonna see one of these in any lobby.
An authentic one from the 50s (when you can find one) sells at auction for $5-8k+
In no way did I mean that statement literally.
It was a sarcastic reference. This style of seat is quite common in terminals.
Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, the design has certainly inspired a lot of imitations.
The image isn’t loading for me—could you please describe the chair to me? I’m curious!
Eames Aluminum Group
But what I’m referring to is specifically known as the Eames Executive Group Management Chair

I miss it…
Damn, what a curb find. What happened to it? :(
Long story short, I got evicted
I had 20 minutes to grab everything I could. So I grabbed my cat and my laptop and a suitcase full of clothes, and I was out the door.
