AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic modular storage stool from the famed German brand EMSA, produced in West Germany during the 1970s. A true icon of Space Age and Pop Art design, this model in the shape of a "diabolo" or "hourglass" (reminiscent of the Mushroom or Tulip lines) perfectly embodies the futuristic, plastic, and optimistic spirit of the 70s.
This two-tone model (beige/cream base and chocolate brown lid) is particularly sought-after because it is complete with its original removable shaggy faux-fur disc texture, an era textile accessory that is often lost or deteriorated over time.
Technical specifications:
Era: 1970s
Origin: West Germany — stamped under the seat
Materials: High-strength glossy injected plastic (ABS), original synthetic upholstery
Color: Beige / Cream / Chocolate brown
Very good vintage condition for its age. The ABS plastic has retained its superb shine and original luster. The brown shaggy faux-fur disc is clean, sound, and complete with its original drawstring.
