Product description
These rare folding chairs by Armin Wirth combine functional Swiss design with a clear, timeless aesthetic. The seat and backrest are made of molded plywood with a warm wood tone, while the delicate tubular steel frame provides stability and a pleasantly light appearance. The balanced proportions and minimalist construction are characteristic of the functional design approach of the post-war era.
The ingenious folding mechanism is particularly noteworthy, allowing the chairs to be folded and stacked to save space. This makes them suitable for living spaces as well as meeting rooms, studios, or public buildings. The combination of high-quality molded plywood and chrome-plated tubular steel gives the chairs an elegant industrial look that remains modern to this day.
Armin Wirth is one of Switzerland's leading designers of functional seating. His designs are characterized by their high level of everyday usability, solid craftsmanship, and durable construction. These chairs are a fine example of Swiss design, where function, material honesty, and aesthetics are in harmonious balance.
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related wear. The wood has some minor scratches and signs of use, and the frames show slight signs of age. Sturdy and fully functional.
