This set of two Ted folding chairs, designed by Niels Gammelgaard for Ikea in Sweden in the 1970s, exemplifies Scandinavian minimalism and the postmodern aesthetic of the era's close. The chairs feature a lightweight, durable tubular metal frame finished in a vibrant, glossy red, seamlessly echoed on the molded plastic seat and backrest. Their geometric lines and balanced proportions—a slightly wider seat and ergonomically angled backrest—ensure comfort and functionality. The folding mechanism is discreetly integrated, maintaining a sleek silhouette with visible, simple rivet joints that reflect Gammelgaard’s utilitarian approach and Ikea’s production logic of the time. Condition: Good, with minor surface scratches and subtle traces of use consistent with 1970s vintage, without any interventions or alterations to the original structure and finish.
