ABOUT PRODUCTID 12296
This pair of 1960s school chairs, attributed to German manufacture, captures the essence of mid-century modern design. The structure is based on bent plywood in a light, honey-toned brown, with a matte finish highlighting the natural wood grain. The angled legs give the chairs both stability and a visual lightness, while the seats and backrests are ergonomically contoured. The backrests are fixed with visible metal screws, emphasizing the technical, utilitarian aspect of the design. One chair features a small, colored dot on the side rail—a subtle detail typical of the 1960s. Both chairs show minor scratches and scuffs, especially along the edges, consistent with age and use, yet the construction remains sturdy and cohesive. The surfaces have been lightly refinished and sealed with a clear matte lacquer. Condition: good, with preserved patina and all original elements.These chairs echo the spirit of postwar 1960s Germany, an era when function met a careful attention to detail. The restrained lines, pronounced angles, and deliberate use of plywood speak of a time when design was expected to be both practical and forward-looking. The visible signs of use and the colorful dot recall schoolrooms—spaces where simplicity formed a backdrop for daily stories and creative impulses.In interior arrangements, these chairs can be paired with a simple wooden table or an industrial bench to create a private corner for work or reading. They fit well in mid-century modern-inspired settings, as well as in loft or eclectic interiors, where their technical lines and authentic patina will harmonize with other vintage elements, such as a period lamp or a geometric rug. Combining them with natural textiles and accessories in muted, earthy tones will further emphasize the depth of the wood and the subtlety of the form.
