About the Item

Imbue your interior with the high-voltage glamour and coastal sophistication of the 1980s with this exquisite vintage Maitland Smith Klismos chair. Masterfully encrusted in a mosaic of tessellated capiz shell tiles, the frame shimmers with natural iridescence, showcasing a soft palette of blush pink, pearl, and sandy beige. The sleek, architectural silhouette features a curved backrest accentuated by dual bands of inlaid brass, adding a touch of geometric luxury typical of the Postmodern and Hollywood Regency movements. A contrasting black upholstered seat grounds the ethereal shell work, creating a striking visual balance that makes this piece a true work of functional art. Measuring 21.25 inches wide, with a seat depth of 15.5 inches, and standing 35 inches tall (19-inch seat height), this chair is perfectly scaled for use as a glamorous vanity seat, a chic desk chair, or a singular accent piece in a boutique dressing room. It is in great vintage condition, with the shell tiling largely intact and displaying the natural color variations and texture that give the material its unique depth. Whether placed in a contemporary coastal home or a maximalist city apartment, this rare find promises to elevate your space with its architectural form and material richness. Add this gem to your collection today.
