Staples unveils Trump chairs

Staples Inc. has unveiled a new line of office chairs ‘‘inspired by the lifestyle’’ of Donald J. Trump, the flamboyant tycoon and TV personality.

The Framingham-based retailer of office supplies said the new chairs bring ‘‘affordable luxury, style, and quality from the board room to the every day office.’’

Trump Office for Staples features five chairs, including the $349.99 Bedminster, which features a ‘‘truffle brown durable chenille fabric,’’ and the $549.99 Westchester, a study in ‘‘chocolate brown leather.’’

Staples and Trump have some history: In 2005, Trump’s TV show, ‘‘The Apprentice,’’ challenged contestants to invent an office product to clean up their clutter in a promotion with Staples.
