this rare and beautifully restored set of six dining chairs is an outstanding example of german post-war modernism. Designed by georg leowald in the early 1960s for wilkhahn, the model 351/3 exemplifies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of mid-century design.

each chair is crafted from solid teak, showcasing a rich natural grain and warm tone. The curved backrests and tapered legs highlight leowald’s architectural sensibility, while the minimalist form reflects the bauhaus-influenced design culture of post-war germany. The seats have been professionally reupholstered in high-quality black deck-dyed leather, offering a refined contrast and contemporary touch, without compromising the vintage character.

georg leowald (1908–1969), a noted german architect and industrial designer, collaborated with leading manufacturers such as wilkhahn to shape the modern aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s. His designs are characterized by clarity, function, and comfort — all perfectly embodied in this model.

wilkhahn, founded in 1907 and based in bad münder, germany, became a pioneer of modern furniture thanks to partnerships with visionary designers. The 351/3 model remains one of their most iconic dining chair designs from the era.
