AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Modernist shoe bench / ottoman – Bauhaus style – chrome & skai – circa 1960–1970
Particularly modernist shoe bench or ottoman from the 60s/70s, executed in an elegant combination of chrome-plated tubular frame, black skai faux leather, and ribbed rubber foot plate.
This type of furniture was often used in shoe stores and men’s fashion shops as a fitting or auxiliary bench for putting on shoes. The design clearly shows influences from Bauhaus and functional modernist styles, with a minimalist linework and practical industrial character.
The construction consists of a sturdy chrome-plated metal frame with a floating seat and angled footrest. The combination of chrome, black faux leather, and functional design gives the object a pronounced vintage retail interior appearance.
Probably manufactured in Western Europe, presumably the Netherlands or Germany, circa 1960–1970.
