The Ultimate Antique Industrial Draftsman Chair (No. 129)

Meet the chair that makes modern office furniture look intensely boring. Dating back to the turn of the 20th century, this original industrial draftsman’s chair is a masterclass in early ergonomic design and bombproof construction.

Crafted from beautifully aged solid wood and heavy-duty cast iron, this isn’t just a stunning piece of history, it is the absolute perfect work-from-home chair for anyone who wants their workspace to have actual soul and character.

Need to adjust the height? Just spin it! The heavy cast-iron "Archimedes" screw mechanism in the center column is as smooth today as it was a hundred years ago. It even features a fully adjustable backrest with a gorgeous cast-iron star knob and a heavy-duty coil spring beneath the seat, allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of tension for your posture.

To top it all off, it still bears its original enamel inventory tag, number 129, whispering stories of bustling mid-century workshops and late-night drafting sessions.

Full disclosure: We are incredibly attached to this piece. Honestly, if it doesn't sell, we really won't mind keeping it for our own home office! So if you want to claim this piece of industrial history, you'd better grab it before we change our minds.
