(2) Electric Southwest Iron Armchairs - Postmodern Upholstery
A bold and distinctive pair of postmodern iron armchairs from the late 1980s or early 1990s, showcasing black-painted tubular metal frames and vibrant abstract upholstery. The backrests and seat cushions are upholstered in a multicolored patchwork fabric with geometric and symbolic motifs—spirals, stars, diamonds, and stripes—in desert-inspired tones of rust, ochre, teal, and plum. The chairs feature dramatically angled armrests, tapered legs, and a tall fan-shaped back panel that nods to both Southwestern design and Memphis-style aesthetics. With their strong silhouettes and expressive textile patterns, these chairs offer high visual impact and are ideal for eclectic interiors or collectors of late 20th-century design.
Condition
Fair vintage condition with moderate wear throughout. Fabric shows fading and signs of age; iron frames exhibit oxidation, scattered rust, and surface paint loss, particularly at edges and feet. Structurally solid, with wear consistent with frequent use.
Dimensions
Each chair: 38" H x 19" W x 20.5" D; Seat: 18" H x 17" W x 16" D
