Modernist Folding Chair, 1950s–60s (Chrome & Textured Fabric)
A small sculptural moment disguised as a folding chair.
This mid-century piece carries the light beautifully — the polished chrome catching soft reflections, the woven seat and backrest traced with a rhythmic crosshatch pattern reminiscent of hand-drawn marks on old paper.
Designed in Northern Europe around the late 1950s or early 1960s, it blends utility with a quiet sense of modernist elegance. The tubular steel frame folds effortlessly; the solid chromed back plate is unusually refined for a chair of its type, giving it a subtle industrial-poetic presence.
Perfect as an extra seat, a hallway sculpture, or the kind of functional object that adds character without trying too hard.
Details
• Northern Europe, 1955–65
• Chromed steel frame
• Original woven upholstery in warm beige with graphic crosshatch pattern
• Folds smoothly
• Good vintage condition with gentle signs of age
This is a piece that doesn’t ask for attention, yet always receives it.
