The combination of a sleek black plastic seat and backrest with the warm, light wood base creates a striking contrast that fits perfectly in a modern or eclectic interior. The ergonomically shaped shell offers surprising comfort, while the curved back provides subtle support—ideal for long dinners or creative brainstorming sessions. Gerd Lange, known for his innovative approach to industrial design, achieved a balance between simplicity, durability, and character with this model. The chairs are lightweight, stackable, and exceptionally versatile: from dining rooms to conference rooms, they add style and class everywhere. The typical 1980s flair is subtly present in the beautiful lines and materials, without losing their timeless appeal. One chair suffered a very small hairline crack in the early 1990s, which was neatly repaired by the then-supplier. Therefore, all four chairs are sturdy and ready to use. A must-have for lovers of vintage design and architectural furniture that's more than just functional—it tells a story.
