Product description
A rare and elegant pair of “Sonett” chairs, crafted in Austria in the 1950s by Karl Fostel Seniors Erben. These chairs combine an expressive modernist structure with the warmth of traditional materials a delicate dialogue between geometry and craftsmanship.
The dynamic, folded-metal frame with its rhythmic triangular supports captures the optimistic postwar spirit of mid-century Europe. The finely woven wicker seats and backs add a tactile, human touch, softening the graphic linearity of the design. Together, they embody both lightness and strength a quiet balance of form and function.
