The style of American Presidents' Oval Office chairs reached apotheosis with the executive chair specifically designed for John F. Kennedy. As President-elect Kennedy planned to move into the White House in 1961, skilled craftsmen worked with his personal physician, Dr. Janet Travell, to develop an executive chair that combined ergonomics and aesthetics. She had treated Kennedy for chronic back pain, and insisted that his working chair have the maximum in comfort and support, while reflecting executive style and refinement.

Kennedy Oval Office Chair embodies a legacy of quality and sustainable craftsmanship, a tradition that has been passed down through several generations and hundreds of years.an alternative to mass-produced, imported furniture.
