Vintage Hager/Bore chair

Forgive me whilst I wax eloquent. Very often we loosely use the term 'collectible' to describe chairs that sell for $15K new and $5K used. I'm looking at you Egg Chair. And you Eames Lounge Chair. Personally, I'd prefer to collect a chair that sold for $200 new back in the 1970s but has current asking prices up to $5K. Like, say, one of these... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/dec/02/vintage-ikea-1960s-armchair-12k-10-secondhand-swedish-sensations Thus I present the extremely rare Hager/Bore chair from a burgeoning collectible hothouse - our good Swedish friends at Ikea. Designed by Japanese maestro Noboru Nakamura (of Poang fame), and (to my eyes) heavily influenced by Bruno Mathsson, the now rare basic design was the Bore. Curvy chrome frame, canvas sling, leather upholstery. Rather gorgeous. The even rarer Hager is the high back version. Even cooler looking, and even more comfortable. My wife has the afore-mentioned Eames Lounge Chair and since meeting the Hager has spurned it for her book trysts. This particular example is in very good condition. The chrome is excellent. The leather shows patination but not scars. The strap that holds the headrest in place is a little loose, and there are a few fraying threads where the canvas sling wraps around the front of the frame, but that is either part of the charm or easily fixed. I'm biased, but I think this kind of piece is exactly what we chair obsessives should be seeking out. Humble origins yes. But great design and good build quality make that moot.

Condition Details:
In very good condition showing only a few signs of wear such as small marks or scuffs.
