With 180 chairs available, these pieces offer an ideal solution for both large-scale and individual needs or projects. The design of the s22 chairs is both practical and innovative. The seats, crafted from dark brown pressed wood that appears almost black, are durable, easy to clean, and built to withstand heavy use. The frames, made of robust folded metal with a light grey finish, form an upside-down “v” shape, providing both stability and visual appeal. Designed to stack up to 8 high or interlock neatly side by side, these chairs optimize space and efficiency while adding an industrial flair to any setting.

over the years, these chairs have developed a rich patina, showcasing the wear and character that come with their history. Each chair is stamped with the pagholz mark on the backrest, attesting to its authenticity. While the frames exhibit some paint loss and the seats show surface wear, these elements add to the chairs’ vintage charm. Importantly, the chairs remain structurally sound with no cracks or breaks. The s22 stacking chairs are as versatile as they are timeless, suitable for a wide range of applications—from dining and conference rooms to creative studio spaces. Whether you’re drawn to their industrial aesthetic or their functional design, these chairs are a testament to flötotto’s ingenuity and the enduring quality of german craftsmanship.
