About the Item
Iconic Mid-Century Modern Farmer Chair by Gerd Lange for Bofinger, offered in fully original condition with original canvas sling and solid wood frame—an authentic German design classic from the 1960s.
This authentic Farmer Chair, designed by Gerd Lange for Bofinger in Germany during the 1960s, is a celebrated example of postwar Mid-Century Modern and functionalist design. Lange is widely regarded as one of the most influential German industrial designers of his generation, known for creating honest, utilitarian furniture with a clear architectural language and long-lasting quality.
This chair is offered in fully original condition, retaining its original canvas sling seat and backrest as well as the original solid wood frame. The robust wooden construction features visible joinery and precise proportions, emphasizing clarity, durability, and craftsmanship. The suspended canvas elements provide flexible comfort while creating a visually light contrast to the strong geometric frame—an essential characteristic of the Farmer Chair series.
The gently reclined backrest and generous seat proportions offer a relaxed and supportive seating position, making the chair suitable as a lounge chair or occasional chair. Its restrained, architectural appearance allows it to integrate effortlessly into Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian, brutalist, or contemporary interiors.
The chair remains in good vintage condition, with the canvas showing light, age-appropriate wear consistent with careful use. The wooden frame is structurally sound and well preserved, displaying a warm natural patina that enhances its authenticity and character. No later alterations or replacements are present.
Highly regarded by collectors, museums, and interior designers, the Farmer Chair is considered a design classic of German postwar furniture. This example offers a rare opportunity to acquire a completely original, well-preserved piece that fully represents the timeless appeal and functional elegance of Gerd Lange’s work.
