this stackable chair embodies the typical functionality and lightness of late modernism. The design combines sculptural lines with industrial precision, offering a balanced blend of comfort and graphic elegance.

the structure consists of a delicate, chrome-plated steel frame that forms a striking sled base with a triangular footprint. The continuous seat and backrest are suspended within this frame – crafted from a black metal mesh reminiscent of fine netting. The ergonomically shaped seat shell gently cradles the body, while the integrated armrests with black plastic pads further enhance comfort. The characteristic curve of the backrest not only adds a design element but also serves as a practical handle for easy stacking.

the penelope chair is not only a visually stunning piece of furniture but also functionally sophisticated. It is lightweight, stackable, and offers a comfortable seating position – ideal for conference rooms, waiting areas, or design-conscious living spaces. Its design is unmistakably modernist with a touch of postmodernism, making it a sought-after item for collectors and interior designers.

condition: the chairs are in very good condition. The chrome frames gleam with only minimal signs of wear, the mesh fabric is taut and shows no defects. The plastic parts are intact and free of cracks or discoloration. Overall, these are well-maintained original pieces with only slight, age-related signs of wear that underscore their authentic character.
