Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A row of three (3) audience chairs from The Oprah Winfrey Show set at Harpo Studios in Chicago, Illinois. These seats are from Row SR3. The chair seats and backs are covered in red fabric and have rounded corners. The seat cushions are a thick foam. The three (3) seats are hinged together as one unit. The chair seats and backs have internal pivoting arrangements so that the seat and back can move between occupied and unoccupied positions. When the seat is unoccupied, the seat and back positions are substantially vertical. The chairs are mounted to black plastic end panels on the far proper left and proper right sides, and to thin black plastic armrests in the middle, in between the chairs. The chairs attach to these supports via metal brackets in two (2) places, on the undersides of the seats, and on the sides of each chair back.
