Produced in the late 1970s or early 1980s, the chairs feature a black lacquered steel frame with sharp, architectural lines, accented by solid Sipo mahogany armrests and a matching flat mahogany backrest panel.

The generous seat is upholstered in a deep navy blue corduroy-like fabric, providing both comfort and a tactile contrast to the industrial frame. The chamfered armrest ends and exposed joinery give the chairs a sculptural presence, making them suitable for dining, meeting, or statement seating.

Their aesthetic blends postmodern playfulness with a brutalist edge, combining strict geometry with the warmth of natural wood. This duality reflects the crossover between late modernist rigor and the emerging postmodern design tendencies of the era, often found in small workshop productions. See less
