Vintage chair from 1968 *CHROME*

Is this not the coolest chair you've ever seen?!?!?!?!?! 

It's my grandma's. Originally a set of five and a table, only this chair and another, as well as the table still exist.

It's almost like a parody of mid-century furniture. The wood grain vinyl seat cushion is my favorite part!

What I found interesting about it was the mix of '50s Art Deco and '60s Psychedelic paisleys; and it turns out this set may have been a re-issue of an original '50s set, but adding the cool patterns made it more late '60s early '70s. By far the coolest piece of furniture I've seen.

An attractive Mid-century chair that looks oddly familiar

Chairs like that are comfortable.  That would be a good place to builds with a good cover..

I was totally thinking the same thing; when I inherit the set it will definitely become my new model car building table.

That will be neat!

Must have been the "extra" that was kept in the closet?

Not entirely sure… photographic evidence depicts the set as the original dining table as early as 1973, to as late as the mid-90s. Through that time, photos also showed some chairs bursting at the seams with stuffing, which became the demise of at least 3 of the chairs. The other existing chair resides in the basement with a tear along the middle of the seat and backrest. Said backrest has also faded yellow. The chair you see appears immaculate but has an atrocious weld job beneath the seat.  Though it is solid as a rock. Not sure if reupholstery is an option for the other one…
