Rivet Mid-Century Open Back Swivel Office Chair, 24" W, Marble

Westelm identifies Mid-century furniture with its "signature lines are architectural and utilitarian, transforming pieces of furniture into works of modern art. This style is known for blending dramatic and durable materials such as wood, metal and glass with sleek, almost geometric shapes." If you look at a few examples, you start to realise that four tapered sleek wooden legs are identifying features of mid-century furniture. They stick out like the antennae of Aliensbut to the ground.

Design features 

• Opening in the back. According to Bellacor , "Open backed chairs bring subtle character in a small and cozy space, while well-defined chairs are perfect for larger rooms."
• low-slung arms.
