Spanner’s first line of furniture, “Ruspan Originals” was created in the early 1950s and characterized by a simple, modern, stripped-down look. It was marketed towards modern newlyweds in the adventurous era of progress and efficiency. The wood came in a variety of finishes, from light to black, and the canvas webbing for the chair seats was available in cheerful red, green, black, blue, yellow or grey. \u003cbr\u003eAs time went on, Spanner furniture design began to be influenced by other popular styles, and the distinctive look of Russell’s earlier designs was diluted. Spanner continued designing and producing furniture until his death in 1974, but nothing could hold a candle to his iconic “Ruspan” line again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Height: 30 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003eOverall Depth: 25\"\u003cbr\u003eOverall Width: 22\"\u003cbr\u003eInside Seat Depth: 16 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eInside Seat Width: 19\"\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConditions report available upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meyette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42161403330645,"sku":"SL-02","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/0431\/7781\/files\/IMG_0687.jpg?v=1773370016","url":"https:\/\/meyetteshop.com\/products\/ruspan-chair","provider":"Meyette","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
