1938 Art Deco Airline Lounge Chair by KEM Weber for Walt Disney, Pair

This rare set of two Airline armchairs by the iconic modernist K.E.M. Weber (American b. Germany, 1889-1963) was originally designed in 1934 and produced in 1938 for the Walt Disney Studios in a limited run of 300. The innovative seat, upholstered in a woven green wool fabric, reclines for added comfort, supported by its cantilevered frame.

Simply put, the "Airline" Chair armchair is a masterpiece of modern design. Our version has been refinished and reupholstered to its original appearance. As his most famous design, the "Airline chair" armchair epitomizes the sleek and sophisticated modernism that came to define the Hollywood of the 1930s.

In 2008, Harvey's on Beverly sold an Airline chair to The Brooklyn Museum where it is viewable on permanent display at the Luce Visible Storage and Study Center section on the 5th Floor.

This chair can be acquired as a single. Please contact us for more information.
