Elegant, sturdy dining chair with a delicate, modern look

Design classic

This rattan chair was designed in 1951 by Swiss designer Gian Franco Legler for the Italian restaurant The Basket and produced by J.Bally in Switzerland.

This chair was awarded the Good Design Award by MOMA in New York.

Conveniently, it is easily stackable.

Black enameled metal frame, wicker seat shell.

Fine lines in the solid frame—looks delicate, but is really heavy :)

Classically beautiful.

Freshly cleaned and oiled, unfortunately the care came too late: plenty of breaks in the wickerwork.

See detailed pictures.

Total height approx. 80 cm,
seat height approx. 45 cm,
width approx. 48 cm,
depth 54 cm.

We offer the matching stool\.unfortunately also not in the best condition\.in another listing.
