obviously, the iconic design of the saarinen chair by knoll was taken as inspiration :) finnish and italian designers also created similarly elegant models.

here, fröscher kg, which has been manufacturing office furniture since the 1920s, furnished the bremer landesbank with contemporary seating in the 1960s/1970s. The sticker with the inventory number is still present on both models. Only the dark brown one still has the manufacturer's label.

a light, expansive body, beautifully curved armrests, and a fine metal frame – these are the characteristic features of this comfortable armchair-shaped chair with a comfortable seat height.

two of these elegant examples have survived to the extent that they are still usable – however, there are clear signs of wear in the corduroy-like upholstery fabric.

the chairs have been in a private household for the past few years, which probably had cats - the sides/back certainly look a bit like they've been abused by a cat tree ;)
the fabric on the underside has been replaced - the original fabric has simply crumbled (high plastic content ;) )

light brown: the fabric is worn through, especially on the front right.

dark brown: a small tear on the front right. See detail pictures
(has since been repaired with textile glue!)

otherwise, good vintage condition, no mustiness, not worn through - all upholstered furniture is thoroughly cleaned by us upon arrival and before departure.
