Rene Herbst Cord Sandows Armchair

The Rene Herbst Cord Chair, also known as the Sandows Chair, is just one example of the pioneering use of industrial material for which Rene Herbst was famous. For this chair, Herbst used elastic cords (we know them now as "bungee cords") that at that time were used to wrap parcels. It was first released to the public at the Paris Salon d'Automne des Artistes Decorateurs in 1929. Rene Herbst founded the company Etablissements Rene Herbst in an effort to produce and sell his projects. Made in Italy. Dimensions: H 37 3/4" x D 22 1/2" x W 25"; SH 18"; ArH 27 1/2" Material: Armchair in polished chrome-plated or lacquered tubular steel. Seat, back and arms in black elastic cords.
