These chairs are outstanding examples of mid-century modern design, blending Scandinavian organic forms with German industrial precision. with their iconic bowl-shaped seat and minimalist yet sculptural silhouette, they remain timeless and visually striking.

The chairs feature a black-lacquered tubular steel frame, subtly patinated with minor wear consistent with age, which adds character without compromising structural integrity. The seat is formed from the original red suede leather, now beautifully aged into a warm, natural tone.
