Description from the seller

Original vintage Flötotto chair, manufactured in Germany and dated to around the 1960s.

The chair features a characteristic, ergonomically contoured one-piece shell made of molded plywood Pagholz/Pagwood. The shell is mounted on a chrome steel-tube frame in the shape of runners. The construction allows for stacking.

The chair’s originality is confirmed by the preserved, very legible FLÖTOTTO embossing on the metal mounting plate located under the seat, shown in detail in the photos.

The form of this type of Flötotto/Pagholz chair from this period is often attributed to designer Adam Stegner.

This is a larger variant of the chair.
Approximate dimensions:
overall height: about 77 cm
width: about 53 cm
depth: about 50 cm

The chair is in good, original vintage condition. Normal signs of age and use are visible, including surface scratches, wear, and small marks on the wooden shell, as well as minor signs of use on the chrome frame. The condition is shown in detail in the photographs.

From the inspection, no major structural damage is visible. The chair has retained its original character and has not been excessively restored.

The auction includes one Flötotto chair shown in the photos.

Please inspect all photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description and accurately depict the item’s condition and dimensions.
