Scissor Chair
Ward Bennett took inspiration for the Scissor chair from the hammock-style chaise transatlantique of the mid-nineteenth century. An early version of the Scissor appeared in 1964. By 1968, Bennett had refined the design, settling on softened rectangular sections. Scissor is available in a wide array of metal and wood finishes; it can be upholstered in virtually any leather or textile.
