This particular chair has a cantilevered tubular metal frame, giving it a sleek appearance. However, the seat and backrest have a warm appearance thanks to the coarsely woven red sisal fabric, which is combined with black lacquered wooden armrests to create an exciting contrast. The design shows traits of Bauhaus aesthetics.

The wicker has been replaced in the past. The chair is in very good condition overall, with normal signs of wear and tear. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
