Lucak","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA rare and historically significant pair of Art Deco tubular chrome lounge chair frames attributed to K.E.M. Weber, manufactured by Lloyd\u003c\/strong\u003e — an extraordinary find representing one of the most important names in American modernist design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarl Emanuel Martin \"Kem\" Weber (1889–1963) was a German-born designer who became one of the founding figures of American industrial and furniture design. Trained under Bruno Paul in Berlin and stranded in the United States by the outbreak of World War I, Weber settled in California and went on to produce some of the defining objects of American Art Deco and early Modernism. His work — rigorously modern, influenced equally by Bauhaus principles and the dynamism of American machine culture — anticipated the postwar MCM movement by two decades. Weber designed for the airline industry, for Hollywood studios, and for major manufacturers, and his furniture is represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis tubular chrome furniture for Lloyd Manufacturing — one of the foremost American producers of tubular steel furniture in the 1930s — stands among the most collectible American design objects of the 20th century. The pairing of Weber's elegant, architecturally precise forms with Lloyd's superior chrome tubular fabrication produced chairs of exceptional visual authority and historical importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese frames are sold without upholstery\u003c\/strong\u003e — presenting a restoration opportunity.
