Brian Kane Rubber Chair for Metropolitan Furniture / Steelcase 1980's , A Pair

This rare pair of Rubber Chairs designed by Brian Kane for Metropolitan Furniture and produced by Steelcase in 1987 represents a bold moment in late-20th-century American design, where industrial innovation meets thoughtful comfort. Each chair features a sculptural black steel frame fully coated in rubber, creating a soft-touch matte surface that is both visually striking and tactile. The rounded tubular arms and legs form a strong architectural profile while maintaining an inviting, ergonomic presence. The chairs are fitted with upholstered seat cushions and accompanied by matching loose back pillows, designed to rest against the frame for added comfort. Balancing postmodern aesthetics with functional seating, these chairs are ideal as statement accent chairs, desk or lounge seating, or within a design-forward residential or commercial interior.
