Richard Nixon Oval Office Chair
$1,950.00The secret White House taping system recorded President Richard Nixon speaking to Press Secretary Ron Ziegler on April 27, 1973: "The whole hopes of the whole goddamn world of peace, Ron, you know where they rest, they rest right here in this damn chair."
While the White House Oval Office provides the most powerful chair in the world, President Nixon also happened to be seated in what has been called “the most comfortable executive chair ever made.” The innovative design of this chair provided postural support for the most stressful job in the world. It served Presidents Nixon and later President Jimmy Carter with complete adjustability and a wider range of support in all working and resting positions than in any previous design.
It was through the study of postural biomechanics that innovative engineers in partnership with the government developed the technical standards for a chair to provide a comfortable fit while minimizing tension and lower back pain. Nixon's Oval Office Chair was a major engineering breakthrough, promoting greater overall comfort, including improved concentration and endurance through long hours of seated task work.
Commencing existence as the consummate ergonomic marvel, the chair's original design has morphed into a handsome model of quality and construction — a museum-quality reproduction of the original, built by Trinity Furniture to incorporate solid cherry hardwoods for all exposed-wood components, kiln-dried hardwoods on all unexposed wood frame members, and decorative nail trim in addition to 8-way hand tied coil springs. Cover material options include top grain leathers, and each chair is performance-tested in accordance with GSA requirements. Finished with top-grain leather upholstery.
