The famous Mücke-Melder factory in Fryštát manufactured this piece. This company belonged to the European elite in the production of tubular steel furniture. The stool stands out because of its purist form and high structural quality, which are hallmarks of this producer.

The combination of materials relies on the contrast between cool metal and warm wood. The chrome-plated steel frame underwent professional cleaning during restoration to regain its mirror luster. The seat consists of solid beech wood. The original wood polish was sensitively revived to highlight the natural grain and preserve the historical patina. This stool is not only a practical seating solution but also a highly valued collector item. It represents the modern lifestyle of the First Republic era.

Our professional refurbishing team in Czechia has fully restored it according to the original process.

The chrome parts have been cleaned and professionally restored.

This item features classic Bauhaus design elements. Elements of this style are neutral colors and occasional bright primary colors.
