About the Item

This green desk chair set was designed by René Herbst, a pioneer of French modern design. Its lightweight construction, combining a tubular steel frame with a molded plywood back and seat, embodies Herbst's design philosophy of rationality and practicality. Its minimalist, robust, and stackable design made it a popular piece of practical furniture, widely used in educational institutions and public spaces. Combining streamlined lines with industrial-inspired textures, it is a symbolic example of postwar French modern design.
