Set of Six Stackable Chairs Designed by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, 1971 This set of six stackable chairs features: - Solid Pagwood molded seats (high-density laminated compressed wood) - Orthopedic pelvic and back support for ergonomic comfort - Sturdy solid iron legs - Stackable design for space efficiency Excellent vintage condition About the Design: Designed in 1971 by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, these chairs showcase German engineering in both form and function. The innovative Pagwood material—a high-density, laminated compressed wood—was developed to provide durability while maintaining a sleek, organic aesthetic. The contoured seat design offers built-in orthopedic support, ensuring comfort without the need for mechanical adjustments. Set on solid iron legs, the structure is both lightweight and highly resistant, making the chairs ideal for high-use environments. About the Manufacturer: Pagholz Flötotto is known for pioneering molded wood technology, combining natural aesthetics with industrial strength. The company played a key role in the development of ergonomic seating solutions, particularly for educational and professional spaces. Historical Context: The 1970s saw a shift towards innovative material applications in furniture design. Pagwood, with its balance of strength and flexibility, represented a breakthrough in molded wood technology. Stegner’s design prioritized both function and minimalism, aligning with the modernist movement of the era. Why These Chairs Stand Out: These Pagholz Flötotto chairs...
