Thonet Softec Stacking Chairs by David Rowland
By David Rowland
Located in Tucson, AZ
Chairs feature David Rowland's patented "Soflex" seat and back in original school bus color vinyl plastisol on tubular chrome frame. - Soflex is a material invented by Rowland in 1973 in which sinuous metal springs are dipped in vinyl plastisol. When cured, the plastisol hardens and holds the springs together, forming a thin, open-mesh, resilient seating material. It is easy to see Rowland's design beginning as early as 1952 with his "Transparent Chair" for The No-Sag Spring Company of Detroit and his 1957 Zig Zag Cantilever Chair. The Softec Chair...

1990s Vintage Kartell “FPE” Chair by Ron Arad — Fantastic Plastic Elastic — Mid-
By Ron Arad
Located in San Gabriel, CA
Designer: Ron Arad
Model: FPE (Fantastic, Plastic, Elastic)
Manufacturer: Kartell, Milan, Italy
Era: Late 1990s / Early 2000s (original production run 1999–mid 2000s) 
The FPE chair is one of Ron Arad’s most iconic plastic-and-metal designs. It uses an ingenious method: a single sheet of injection-molded polypropylene is slid flat into double-barrelled aluminum extrusions, then bent into shape under pressure — creating a light, flexible but structurally sound chair without screws, glue, or welding. 
This combination of industrial engineering + sculptural form + stackable practicality helped make the FPE a landmark of late-20th-century design. It’s part of major museum collections worldwide (including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York). 
• Original vintage Kartell production (not reproduction)
• Polypropylene seat/back + extruded aluminum frame
• Signature flexible-seat technology — seat/back remain slightly flexible until someone sits, then lock rigid under weight. 
• Lightweight
stackable (up to 6–8 chairs) — ideal for small spaces or flexible interiors. 
• Great for lovers of postmodern / space-age / contemporary design; fits gallery-style interiors, modern apartments, creative studios.
Dimensions (approx / official): 31¼″ H × 17″ W × 22″ D (79.4 × 43.2 × 55.9 cm) 
Materials: Injection-molded polypropylene (seat), Extruded aluminum (frame) 
Condition
Authenticity Notes
• Good vintage condition — seat/back show light wear typical of age/use (please refer to photos).
• Underside of seat shows original manufacturing stamp: “Kartell — FPE...
