Seller's Notes:GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL Maarten Baas Autographed 1/200 Red Velvet Wing Chair w/Ottoman. The famed Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC where the most famous celebs and musicians have stayed for decades has closed its doors forever. Now, you can own a piece of history and work art from the beloved, iconic hotel. Julian Schnabel and Ian Schrager commissioned award winning Dutch artist/designer Maarten Baas to create these special custom velvet Smoke wing chairs and ottomans for Gramercy Park Hotel in 2006. A stunning work of art and piece of history. Finely hand crafted and autographed by the designer, only 200 made in the world. Luxurious high end velvet and award winning smoked wood. Baas pioneered the Smoke technique, where he artfully burned and preserved wood on his pieces. He captured the burning flames to create the strange sensation of sitting on burnt wood. His Smoke collection turned him into an overnight success and won him Design Miami’s 2009 Designer of the Year award. Smoke has been labeled an iconic line of modern design and entered the permanent collections of international museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Groninger Museum and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Each chair is unique due to this exceptional production process. This chair was from a massive suite in the hotel where famous celebrities and musicians have stayed and enjoyed themselves for years.
