It has a semi flexible one-piece curved seat and backrest, made of ‘Pagholz’ wood, on a steel frame with cross base (most likely by Thur-Op-Seat).
The chair is signed on the bottom with the ‘Pagholz’ logo and number ‘15113’.

The innovative Pagholz plywood has a warm brown color and is very resistant due to the injection manufacturing process of wood and resin, which makes it long-lasting and has earned its reputation.
