About the Item

Folding chair from the 1950s demonstrates Swedish functionalist design in the style of architect Sven Markelius. Constructed of solid birch with a slatted seat and supportive two-slat back. The frame features well-engineered folding mechanism with metal pivot hardware that operates smoothly. Lightweight construction makes the chair highly portable while maintaining structural integrity. The chair showcases natural birch grain throughout its frame and slatted surfaces. Metal accents at pivot points provide functional detail. The folding mechanism allows for compact storage while the supportive back design ensures comfort. Chair shows wear consistent with age and use. Frame displays some chipping and metal accents show age-appropriate patina. Several similar chairs available and listed separately.
