Chair #79




ALUMINUM ARTISAN CHAIR
—Designer unknown, circa 1970's

This unique, hand crafted chair is made of heavy duty solid aluminum rods, making it quite heavy and stable. Its sculptural form, with the Greek-Key-like design on the back, also looks functional and comfortable. And because aluminum does not rust, this chair can be left outdoors year round. Apparently aluminum is a notoriously difficult metal to weld and work with as it's melting point is well below the other metals—meaning whoever crafted this chair was very skilled.
