Stellar Works is reissuing the C140 in its original caned back version as well the upholstered C142, which has an upholstered back. The chairs come in a choice of Ash or Walnut. For the upholstery, Stellar works have selected Hallingdal 65 from Kvadrat, designed by mid-century Danish designer iconic Nanna Ditzel, in a choice of 457 (yellow), 547 (orange) 850 (blue).
The Iconic C140 chair was also used in the White House under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration and Johnson was photographed sitting in it signing the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Highway Beautification Act in 1965.
