VINTAGE
CLARIN FOLDING CHAIRS (2)
This is a stunningly beautiful set of vintage chairs from the world renowned manufacturers of folding chairs- Clarin. These were produced when the company was originally situated in Lake Bluff, Illinois. Clarin holds one of the first patents for folding chairs, these 2 chairs are so well made that perhaps because of their age, they appear to be fresh off the assembly line!
The chair is a brown to deep brown color in a very sturdy upholstery and the steel frame is a grayish brown that compliments the chocolate brown of the leather arm rests. The super cool part of these chairs are how they work with sliding lever/roller sides that smoothly roll opened and closed (folded).
I suspect these chairs are from the 1960\'s, they just have that vibe to them. They are marked \"reserve seating\", which makes sense they would\'ve been set out and stayed there. These chairs are very heavy, roughly 18 Lbs. each. They were made to be permanent or at least semi-permanent seating. If these chairs could only talk, what tales they would tell. Probably about other famous \"tails\", sorry just had too.
Here are some measurements of the chairs:
31 1/2\" from the top of the back of the chair to the ground, 24 1/2\" from the arm rest to the ground, 18 1/2\" from the seat to the ground, seat cushion measures 15\"x17\" (and still has lots of soft but firm cushion to it) and the seat back measures 8\"x14 1/2\".
There are many pictures of President Hoover relaxing on Clarin chairs that are remarkably similar to these 2 chairs. These chairs are still in huge demand today.
They are in near perfect condition, one of the chairs has a small defect on the armrest (although the picture I took probably makes it look huge, it is actually about the size of a eraser head).
Here is some history of Clarin chairs and their sturdy and beautiful designs.
Clarin was founded in 1925 by Werner Clarin, the innovator of all of the principle designs that are presently offered by folding chair manufacturers. Of all his designs, Clarin selected the X-type, double tube and channel design for its superior strength and flexibility characteristics over the original tubular chair. In 1928 Clarin Corporation made the first all-steel folding chair manufactured in the United States.
Werner Clarin obtained the backing of a small group of investors and the company grew steadily. World War II material shortages actually helped the company’s growth when it switched to wood folding chairs and government sub-contract work to stay operational.
After World War II, the demand for portable seating increased greatly because of the rising enrollment in public schools, and Clarin grew steadily as the market did.
Providing aesthetic as well as practical appeal, the comfort and durability of Clarin chairs is legendary. Known for providing years of dependable service, it is not uncommon for schools and venues to still be using Clarin chairs dating all the way back to the 1960’s and 70’s.
In 2011 Clarin became part of the Hussey Seating Company’s family of products. Another veteran American seating company, Hussey’s complementary product lines serve the same markets as Clarin. Like Clarin, Hussey Seating also has a long pedigree of durability, quality, safety and serving the customer, making it an ideal home for America’s most popular folding chair.
Winners have been sitting on Clarin portable chairs for years – from nearly all the NBA teams nationwide to high school athletes in your neighborhood. Still American made to this day, Clarin chairs continue to be the leaders in the market. Clarin chairs can be found in the foremost arenas, stadiums, convention centers, universities, schools, offices and entertainment facilities throughout the country and around the world
