ABOUT PRODUCTID 10450
This pair of children’s chairs, designed by Fritz Flototto and produced in Germany in the 1960s, embodies the functional modernism of its era. Each piece features bent plywood seats and backrests, ergonomically shaped to provide comfort for young users. Distinctive sled bases made from tubular chromed steel add visual lightness and ensure stability, while the prominent wood grain highlights the natural quality of the material. The photographs reveal a notable difference in shade: one chair displays a lighter, honey-brown tone, while the other has a deeper, reddish-brown hue. The plywood has a semi-gloss finish, softly rounded edges, and carefully integrated mounting details. The chrome legs show signs of oxidation and minor surface wear; the seats display scratches and evidence of use. There are no major damages or repairs. The chairs are in good condition – structurally sound, with typical signs of age consistent with 1960s school furniture. These chairs echo the spirit of postwar German design: simplicity of form, ergonomic consideration, and a focus on honest materials. The bent plywood, shaped into gentle curves, evokes a sense of youthful energy and play, while the minimalist construction reflects confidence in material strength and skilled craftsmanship. The lightly patinated chrome bases recall the ambiance of vintage classrooms, where practicality met a modern vision of education. Such chairs can be used beyond the children’s room – as accents in a home library, a drawing nook, or as part of an eclectic living room arrangement. They pair well with a simple 1960s desk or a minimalist table, as well as with a geometric-patterned rug or light-colored walls. In a collector’s interior, they can be combined with other school furniture
