Hayward is known for his refined British modernist approach, combining sculptural forms with high-quality craftsmanship—qualities that are clearly visible in this rare and beautifully balanced set.
Each chair features a curved wooden backrest with a warm grain pattern, giving the design its distinctive organic silhouette. The seats have been renewed in black skai (faux leather), offering a clean, modern contrast while ensuring everyday comfort. The tapered wooden legs, finished with their original metal caps, add an architectural touch and elevate the overall elegance of the design.
The set embodies the sophisticated mid-century aesthetic that defined Vanson’s production during the 1950s and 1960s—sleek, understated, functional, and visually timeless. These chairs work beautifully around a dining table, in a design studio, boutique interior, or as statement pieces in a curated vintage space.
