ABOUT PRODUCTID 27581
This set of four dining chairs, designed by Frans Van Praet for Expo 1992, is a distinctive example of Belgian postmodern design from the 1990s. The construction is based on curved metal panels in a cool, metallic grey with a semi-matte, brushed finish, giving the chairs an industrial yet architectural presence. The seats and backrests, devoid of upholstery, highlight the raw materiality of the project. The slender, straight legs are made from tubular metal in a warm brass or bronze tone, with visible screw joints and an open, honest construction. The backrests flare outward at the top and taper toward the seat, lending a sculptural, geometric silhouette characteristic of postmodern aesthetics. Condition: good vintage, with minor scratches, patina, and areas of discoloration—signs of age that attest to the authenticity of these 1990s originals, without affecting their functionality.These chairs reflect the spirit of the 1990s, when design became a field for both experimentation and bold statements. The rawness of metal, brushed surfaces, and industrial details evoke the atmosphere of urban spaces and architectural innovation. The backrests, reminiscent of a repetitive sculptural motif, seem to narrate a time when form was as significant as function, and every detail—from the cool sheen of metal to the warm tone of the legs—contributes to the story of Belgian design's confidence.These chairs could be paired with a robust wooden or glass table to emphasize their geometric rigor. They would suit both modern dining rooms
