The chair is built around a black-painted metal frame with slender, sharply angled legs and distinctive folded-metal elements. The seat and backrest are upholstered in black faux leather, creating a particularly graphic, monochromatic appearance.
Its construction and proportions strongly evoke the innovative Dutch industrial furniture developed during the postwar period, particularly the celebrated Result chair designed by Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld in 1958. This example is therefore presented as in the style of Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld.

A highly decorative chair that works equally well as an occasional chair, desk chair or sculptural accent piece in a contemporary interior. See less
