An absolute icon of Dutch Mid-Century Modern design: the exceptionally rare FM07 armchair, designed by renowned designer Cees Braakman in 1957 and produced by Pastoe. This piece belongs to the celebrated “Japanese Series,” known for introducing elements of absolute minimalism, geometric rigor, and structural lightness to European furnishings in the late 1950s. The armchair stands out for its clean, understated graphic lines, featuring a sturdy black-painted square-section tubular steel frame supporting the suspended, angular forms of the seat, backrest, and armrests.
