Description from the seller
Set of 5 original Flötotto / Pagholz chairs – Germany – Mid-Century Modern
A set of 5 original Flötotto chairs is offered, made in Germany. The chairs bear the characteristic manufacturer marking FLÖTOTTO visible on the back of the molded shell.
The seat and backrest are made as a single ergonomically contoured shell from layered molded wood/plywood in a warm brown mahogany shade. The construction is completed by a minimalist frame of chromed steel tubing in the Freischwinger / sled base style.
The form is characteristic of German functional design from the second half of the 20th century. Similar Flötotto/Pagholz models are dated to around 1960–1970.
Manufacturer: Flötotto
Country: Germany
Quantity: 5 chairs
Material: molded plywood / Pagholz, chromed steel
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Industrial / German Design
Period: approx. 1960s–70s
Height: approx. 76–77 cm
Depth: approx. 50–52 cm
Width: approx. 52–53 cm
The chairs are in an original vintage condition and show normal signs of use and age: local scratches, abrasions and variations in wood coloration, and signs of use on the chromed frames. On the underside of the metal elements there are also local signs of previous repairs/welding and wear. All these elements are shown in the photographs.
Despite signs of use, the set preserves a very attractive, cohesive form and character typical of German Mid-Century design.
All 5 chairs are sold together as one set.
Please view the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
