This set of two rattan lounge chairs was designed by Gregorio Vicente Cortes and Luis Onsurbe for Metz and Co in 1961. The chairs represent a refined example of mid-twentieth-century Dutch Design, combining natural materials with a sleek, architectural design.
The seat and backrest are crafted from woven rattan in a light, natural beige shade, creating an open and airy structure. This organic material contrasts sharply with the minimalist, black-lacquered metal frame that gives the chairs their floating character. The construction displays a thoughtful simplicity, characteristic of the design language of that period.
The chairs are in good condition, commensurate with their age and use. The rattan has been re-woven and the metal frame retains its original finish, contributing to the historical character of the set.
These lounge chairs look excellent in a modern or Scandinavian-inspired interior. They offer a subtle texture and a timeless aesthetic that integrates effortlessly into various living spaces, from a bright conservatory to an understated seating area.
