Dick. Starck was fascinated by the novel and named many of his early designs after its characters and locations. This connection to science fiction gives the chair a futuristic and intellectual edge. The \"Dr. Sonderbar\" chair, produced by the French company XO, is considered a significant piece in Starck's body of work and an icon of French product design from the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved, tubular steel design is a nod to Starck’s childhood spent around the works of his aeronautical engineer father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sculptural and functional, these vintage postmodern chairs work beautifully as accent seating, or statement pieces within contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo available (with slight variations). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chairs are structurally sound and fully functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chromed metal frame has minimal signs of wear consistent with age.
