  • Iron and Woven Rush Pilot or Passenger Seat from a circa 1920s Aircraft
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This pilot's or passenger's seat from a circa 1920s airplane is an excellent example of early 20th century industrial design.

The legs bend at the bottom to form feet, which have holes to allow them to be secured to the floor of the aircraft. The design is an elegant and functional solution to the specific needs of light weight plus strength. We purchased this piece from the estate of a collector of aviation related items. It was only identified as an airplane chair...
