Entirely made of wood, with seat and backrest in curved plywood, they reflect the European rationalist production of the era—designed to last and withstand daily use. The design is clean and straightforward: straight, slightly flared legs, a squared seat with rounded corners, and a gently inclined backrest that provides good support. The natural patina, with visible but consistent signs of age, enhances the authentic charm of these pieces, once common in schools, workshops, or public canteens of the last century. Perfect for furnishing spaces with an industrial, rustic, or minimal aesthetic, these chairs are also well suited for vintage cafés, bistros, or home interiors looking for an authentic, well-worn touch.
