Designed in 1982, this chair is one of the most famous examples of late modern norwegian furniture design, combining innovative construction with a distinctive sculptural form. This particular example is from the early production period and therefore differs from the more common versions from the late 1980s.

characteristic features include clean lines, a sophisticated folding mechanism, and the contrasting combination of light wood and red lacquered support elements. When folded, the silhouette resembles a grasshopper, which gave the design its name. Thanks to its clever construction, the chair can be stored compactly and unfolded in seconds when needed.

today, the grasshopper chair is considered a sought-after classic of scandinavian design, combining functional innovation with high collector value.

condition: good vintage condition with age-related wear. The wood shows slight signs of wear and a beautiful patina. The red-painted elements show some age-related wear. The folding mechanism works perfectly.
