Sure to be a coveted lot is this pair of T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Saridis of Athens walnut
and leather Klismos chairs. In the late 1930s and into the 1940s Robsjohn-Gibbings was one
of the most important decorators in America. In 1960 he met Greek designers Susan and Eleftherios
Saridis and their collaborations came to create the Klismos line of furniture. Robsjohn-Gibbings
eventually moved to Athens, where he became a personal designer to Aristotle Onassis.
The Klismos chairs will be offered in Michaan's 20th Century Design Auction on July the 6th
at an auction estimate of $4,000-6,000.
