each chair features a bent tubular steel frame subtly integrated into a hand-finished solid beech structure, restored and oiled to a natural satin sheen. The upholstery has been completely renewed with premium lilac-toned jacquard fabric, hand-stitched with great attention to original detailing, and fitted with new high-density foam for exceptional comfort.

the sculptural beech legs and balanced silhouette echo the work of finn juhl and arne hovmand-olsen, yet remain unmistakably hungarian in material warmth and proportion. Only a very limited number of these pieces were produced, making them a rare example of late-1960s hungarian applied design.
