$18,000
USA, 1980 blued steel, mirror-polished stainless steel 16 w x 19 d x 35¼ h in (41 x 48 x 90 cm)
The creation of the Park Place table in 1975 began the collection of tables and chairs now known as the Wedding Gift series.
Made by hand in his Brooklyn studio, Myers did not make these in a numbered edition, but rather considers each a unique work. The entire Wedding Gift series is comprised of five tables and approximately fifteen chairs; of these there are two Park Place tables and eight Mainliner chairs.
The Mainliner chair offered here features blued steel seats, a treatment that transforms the steel by bringing out the cobalt and iron oxide elements.
