Manufactured in Czechoslovakia, this chair is a striking example of timeless design and craftsmanship, blending form and function in perfect harmony. Featuring the signature curves of bentwood, a technique that revolutionized furniture design in the early 20th century, this chair is not only a piece of furniture but a work of art.

With its graceful silhouette and expert craftsmanship, this chair is more than just a seat—it’s a statement piece that will complement any room, from living rooms to studies, dining areas, or offices. Materials: Bentwood Rattan (newly replaced webbing) Dimensions: D 58 cm x W 56 cm x H 78 cm A must-have for design lovers, collectors, or anyone who appreciates classic mid-century furniture.
