About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
An early example of the iconic Grasshopper folding chair by Torstein Nilsen for Møremøbler. 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 exhibit some age-related wear. The folding mechanism functions perfectly.
