Pair of Maize 1950s Krueger Fiberglass Bucket Armchairs - Eames For Less!

Made by Wisconsin-based Krueger Metal Products in the 50s and 60s, these chairs were made to compete with the Charles and Ray Eames-designed fiberglass arm chair manufactured by Herman Miller. Looking at the two different versions side-by-side, it's difficult to tell them apart.

Vintage Eames fiberglass armchairs in like condition command $300 and up apiece. While folks may aspire to own Eames, limited resources (and perhaps a dose of common sense) may preclude a pair of Eames in the living room.

Savvy design mavens and budget-conscious modernists have in recent years gravitated toward the Krueger fiberglass chairs. Same great look at a fraction of the price of an Eames chair. Some of these folks will keep their Kruegers forever, while others use and appreciate them until the time they spring for Eames. Either way, they enjoy living with great design - and, isn't that what it's all about?

These chairs are in very good vintage condition. All shock mounts are present, as are the gliders on the legs. A few scruffs here and there (as one would expect with 50 year old furniture), but all-in-all, the set is in excellent shape.  


SOLD.  Thanks, Siena and Rachel @ Chicago!
