the transparent seat and backrest elements made of clear or blue-tinted acrylic are characteristic. Their curved shape makes them ergonomically designed and visually particularly light.

the supporting structure consists of chrome-plated steel tubes connected by precisely manufactured joints and cross braces.

the hinged joints made of aluminum or die-cast zinc are striking, enabling the folding mechanism and simultaneously underscoring the modern, almost technical-industrial appearance. Despite its delicate appearance, the construction appears stable and sophisticated.

condition: the condition of the four chairs is generally good. The chrome-plated metal frames show only minor signs of age-related wear, with no rust or significant scratches. The transparent acrylic surfaces are clean, with minor signs of wear in the form of fine scratches, which are typical for this material. The blue chair has a few dark inclusions in the material, presumably from production. The folding mechanism works perfectly on all chairs. The chairs appear well-maintained and are stable.
