Here is your chance to own & enjoy your very own Dr Evil chair... groovy baby!
This swivel-tilt vintage Overman "Manolite" chair with matching footstool is numbered 9060, so dates to late 1950's to about 1960. Contemporary to the better known (and some might say designer cliché) egg chair, the Overman example is a masterpiece of Swedish innovative design & style. A simple mechanism locks the chair from adjustable tilt and or rock to the perfect chill angle. A generous body and perfectly curved seat and back support will envelope your curves and body for the perfect chill out.
Important things to know. The chair was lovingly restored and reupholstered in the olive green full grain Italian leather from a single hide in correction 2012 by one of NZ's best experts in mid-century furniture expert craftsman: testimony to the skill is the perfect curves and smooth finish as good today as on the day it was refurbished.
It seems every offer claims to be unique or rare... this chair and in this condition, not only pristine but super comfortable to sit in... truly is.
This is your limited opportunity to acquire a fantastic statement piece of mid century classic design furniture, one that has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed. Happy bidding!

*FYI serious collectors: realistic offers will be considered* Seller comment Sunday, 13 July 2025 Can you please tell me who reupholstered the chair? Looks great. 6volt (334 • 9:30 am, Tue, 15 Jul )Kia Ora! Thank you for your interest. The work was done by Geoff Fiebig - he does all of our MCM work, and yes, it still looks great. Apologies on the date - I've uploaded an additional image - Geoff dated the job 11/12/2012 but we didn't take delivery until late January 2013. arc (164 • Tuesday, 15 July 2025 )
