Product description
The base consists of an interesting combination of polished steel tubing and Santos Rosewood wood. The seat upholstery is a black smooth simili leather. The leather is in good condition although there are minor signs of use, normal according to the age of the chairs. The lining consists of a layer of foam. There are no seat pits or sagging.
Vintage condition with no obvious defects.
Designer:
Thereca is a furniture manufacturer that knew life in 1870 and went through some transformations over the years. For example, this design by Sven Ivar Dysthe was produced around the 1970s when the company was acquired under the name Rob Veen furniture. In 2001, Thereca continued to focus on healthcare and project design. As a result, design designs like this dining set were no longer produced, leaving only a few vintage pieces to be found on the market and making the pieces extremely unique.
Dysthe, rare among Norwegian designers of his time, studied outside his homeland at London's Royal College of Arts, the renowned institution that has recently produced such contemporary designers as Max Lamb, Simon Hasan, James Irvine, Philippe Malouin and Sarah van Gameren of Studio Glithero.
Dysthe graduated in 1954 with a degree in industrial design - and the rare distinction of a first-class graduate - and traveled across Scandinavia for his first job: first in Copenhagen, at the design firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard Nielsen; then back in Oslo, where Dysthe was commissioned by furniture manufacturer Hiorth & Østlyngen in 1956 to produce his beech, teak and woven seagrass Model 316 Dining Chair, a sturdy and honest example of where Scandinavian design was headed at the time.
