Folding chair - Aluminium - Vintage camping chair

The item offered at auction is an original vintage foldable travel chair made of aluminum, most likely dating from the 1970s.

The model is distinguished by a light yet sturdy construction from aluminum tubes, barreled aluminum armrests, and an adjustable back, which was characteristic of high-quality European camping furniture from that period.

The fabric used is original and has retained its characteristic pattern. It has been ironed and reinstalled. The construction remains complete and functional. The chair bears no producer markings or labels, which is not uncommon for this type of equipment from the 70s.

The specimen fits perfectly with Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, outdoor design, and the history of European tourism and caravanning.
