Frame made of greenish, gray painted full metal. Back, seat and armrest made of form plywood with a beautiful teak veneer. The manufacturer was the Dutch furniture company Pilastro. Our copy is an early version in which the seat and back are screwed to the metal frame. In later versions, these parts were attached with rivets. Very nice original condition. A few veneer splints are easy to see in the photos. However, the missing points were treated and fixed professionally. All in all, the armchair is in an excellent state of preservation. Seat height 33cm. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
