About the Item
René Herbst, 'Sandows' chair, model N.5, plated steel, elastic rope, France, design 1928, produced 2000's.
The 'Sandows' chair epitomizes the industrial advancements of the twenties, featuring a tubular steel construction integrated with elastic components. This chair remains the most renowned design of the esteemed French designer and architect René Herbst (1891-1982). Originating in 1928, this iconic work has earned a place of honor within the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a testament to its enduring significance within the history of art and design. The material used in constructing the chair's seat and backrest is known as 'Sandows', which is the French term for rubber bands
This is "High Tech" before high tech ever existed --- imagine the strangeness of these chairs in 1929 --- when Art Deco wooden furniture reigned supreme!!
So much ahead of its time.
