Description from the seller

Rare pair of swivel chairs from East Germany – Naumburg furniture production – Mid-Century Modern / Space Age – 1970s

Authentic 1970s design

Offered is an exceptional pair of original swivel chairs from East German furniture production, manufactured in Naumburg in the 1970s.

The chairs merge the clean design language of Mid-Century Modern with functional European design and impress with their elegant silhouette, high seating comfort, and solid craftsmanship.

Particularly noteworthy are the truly original spring-core upholstery, the sturdy swivel mechanism, and the characteristic star feet made of chrome-plated metal.

A distinctive feature is the textured upholstery fabric with its striking dome pattern. This typical weave is currently enjoying a remarkable renaissance in modern interior design and is increasingly found in high-end establishments, boutique hotels, and stylish living concepts. The intense blue color gives the chairs a fresh, timeless radiance and makes them true eye-catchers.

Details
• Origin: East Germany, Naumburg
• Period: approx. 1970–1985
• Version: 2 chairs
• Function: swiveling
• Construction: wooden frame with spring-core upholstery
• Base: chromed metal star-foot base

Condition

For sale preparation, the upholstery surfaces were professionally cleaned with textile cleaner.

The fabrics present themselves overall very attractively, the padding appears stable in form and comfortable. Age- and wear-related traces on the frame and underside are present and consistent with the age of the furniture.

One chair has slightly stiffer swiveling movement than the other. However, the swivel function is fully intact and usable.

The original spring-core construction is preserved and underscores the high quality of these seating pieces.
