About the Item
A 1950s Ray Komai chair by J.G. Furniture Company in Brooklyn, New York. The chair features a molded mahogany plywood body with black iron legs and metal detailing on the back of the chair. Exhibited in the US Pavilion in the 1951 Milan Triennale. This chair draws similarities to Don (Donald) Knorr’s chair as well as a nod to Pierre Guariche. Great American design in an uncommon form. This chair would compliment pieces made by Gio Ponti, Edward Wormley, Vladimir Kagan, Robsjohn Gibbings, Harvey Probber and others. Komai's influence for this design came from his love of origami, as well as interest in tribal masks from Africa and New Guinea. Knowing this, you can see how the body of the chair takes on the form of a face.
