Can you find these chairs for me?

There are two white chairs with unusual wood armrests in this clip from Grey's Anatomy. I'm interested in seeing their cost and if they come in other colors, but my Google-fu is failing me.
Response by poster: How did you do that so fast?! I really did try to find it myself...
Thank you!!

Best answer: My secret technique is this: raw luck.
If you put "modern wood chair white upholstry wooden armrests" into a DDG image search you get nothing, but if you mistype "modern" as "moden" and don't notice your mistake - like I did - then I guess the algorithm thinks that "modrest" might be close enough to include as a search result. And there it is halfway down the page, a coincidental typo algorithmically bumping two non-words close enough together to offer as a below-the-fold possibility that just happens to be the right answer.

Those are a modern take on the Kai Kristiansen Z chair, in case you want to go down the rabbit research hole of innovative furniture design.
