ABOUT PRODUCTID 12503
This set of five dining chairs, designed by Oswald Haerdtl for TON, captures the essence of Central European modernism from the 1950s. Each chair features a smoothly contoured bent plywood backrest with a distinctive semicircular cut-out at the base and a wide, comfortable seat. The upholstery is crafted from a soft, luxurious velvet in an intense teal shade with a cool undertone, exhibiting a subtle sheen that delicately reflects light and adds depth to the color. Slender, gently splayed legs are finished in a dark, warm brown stain with a matte surface, highlighting the minimalist character and balancing the proportions. The joinery is seamlessly executed with no visible hardware, and the precision of the craftsmanship is evident in the even upholstery and crisp stitching lines. The chairs have been expertly restored, showing no signs of wear, damage, or patina.The form of these chairs brings a touch of Central European story into the interior—subtle geometric contours and the tactile softness of velvet evoke the postwar optimism and belief in functionalism that defined Oswald Haerdtl’s design language. The teal velvet responds to light with a deep shadow and soft luster, reminiscent of convivial table gatherings of a bygone era. The semicircular backrest detail and slender silhouette offer a discreet nod to mid-century ideals of lightness and modernity, with comfort never compromised.These chairs can be paired with a simple, veneered dining table or with more expressive pieces from the 1950s, such as a table featuring geometric legs.
