This famous chair, made in collaboration with léon stynen’s assistant paul de meyer, was put on the market by the antwerp company straatman, loral et cie, for the expo 58 world fair. It is a timeless classic of belgian design: an elegant chair with tubular steel legs and a seat in curved multiplex. A magnificent design reduced to pure simplicity and continuity. The chairs are in fully original condition apart from the fact that they all have new shock mounts. The wood has been cleaned and oiled. The metal legs show some visible wear and corrosion. Rarely offered.
