This is an interesting batch of chairs, all from the same location but made both by Luterma and Baumann. The process of steam bending beech to create elegant chairs was discovered and developed by Thonet, but when its patents expired in 1869 many companies including Luterma and Baumann launched production. Luterma was one of the brands marketed by Estonian factory A.M. Luther which was founded in the late 19th Century in Tallinn. Luthers production was principally in Estonia but they also had factories in France for local market production. Baumann was founded in 1901, by Swiss man Emile Baumann, in Colombier Fontaine, France. Baumann started producing a simple child’s chair but grew rapidly to be a large bentwood producer with showrooms all over France. These chairs date from the 1950s, a simple classic shape with a beautiful colour and elegant shaped simple backs. We service and rejuvenate each chair before it leaves our workshop and we deliver chairs of excellent quality.

Seat Height: 46cm.
