Description from the seller
Rare pair of swivel chairs from East Germany – Naumburg Furniture Production – Mid-Century Modern / Space Age – 1970s
Authentic design of the 1970s
For sale is an exceptional pair of original swivel chairs from East German furniture production, manufactured in Naumburg in the 1970s.
The chairs combine the clean design language of Mid-Century Modern with functional European design and impress with their elegant silhouette, high seating comfort, and solid craftsmanship.
Of particular note are the originally preserved spring-core cushions, the stable swivel mechanism, and the distinctive star-foot bases made of chromed metal.
A special feature is the textured upholstery fabric with its striking tufted pattern. This typical fabric is currently enjoying a remarkable renaissance in modern interior design and is increasingly found in upscale interiors, boutique hotels, and stylish living concepts. The intense blue color gives the chairs a fresh, timeless aura and makes them true eye-catchers.
