The armchairs were manufactured by Maxalto as a part of their Artona Collection in the mid 80s, and is known as Model 8552. They feature round structure done in layered, curved plywood with low armrests, all together covered in quilted, dark green leather. Maxalto manufactured two versions of this armchair - Model 8551 (without the wheels) and Model 8552 (with the wheels). In addition to this pair, you can find set of four armchairs in black among my other listings. Good vintage condition. Minor scratches could be found on the sides. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
