Located in Vicenza, IT

Set of Six Stackable Chairs Designed by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, 1971 This set of six stackable chairs features: - Solid Pagwood molded seats (high-density laminated compressed wood) - Orthopedic pelvic and back support for ergonomic comfort - Sturdy solid iron legs - Stackable design for space efficiency Excellent vintage condition About the Design: Designed in 1971 by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, these chairs showcase German engineering in both form and function. The innovative Pagwood material—a high-density, laminated compressed wood—was developed to provide durability while maintaining a sleek, organic aesthetic. The contoured seat design offers built-in orthopedic support, ensuring comfort without the need for mechanical adjustments. Set on solid iron legs, the structure is both lightweight and highly resistant, making the chairs ideal for high-use environments. About the Manufacturer: Pagholz Flötotto is known for pioneering molded wood technology, combining natural aesthetics with industrial strength. The company played a key role in the development of ergonomic seating solutions, particularly for educational and professional spaces. Historical Context: The 1970s saw a shift towards innovative material applications in furniture design. Pagwood, with its balance of strength and flexibility, represented a breakthrough in molded wood technology. Stegner’s design prioritized both function and minimalism, aligning with the modernist movement of the era. Why These Chairs Stand Out: These Pagholz Flötotto chairs...

Vintage Bauhaus Skaala Fabric & Chrome Chair by Yrjö Kukkapuro, 1980s, Set of 4

By Avarte, Finland 1, Yrjö Kukkapuro

Located in Warszawa, Mazowieckie

This set of four Skaala chairs was designed by Yrjö Kukkapuro for the Finnish Avarte manufacture during the 1980s. Due to their modern and minimal look, they will easily find their place in the living room or office. The Skaala chair perfectly reflects Kukkapuro's love for ergonomic furniture. This innovative combination of aesthetics and functionality refers to idea from Bauhaus school. The frame is made of chrome-plated goldish metal. The seat and backrest are upholstered with high-quality gray fabric, and additional armrests are made of birch plywood. Yrjö Kukkapuro is a Finnish furniture designer. He is the important person of Finnish functionalism. He has mainly been working as a freelance designer since the 1950s, and most of the furniture he designed early in his career is still in production. "Does it make sense to design a chair that is not comfortable to sit on?" - this is one of Kukkapuro's favorite sayings, which perfectly reflects the designer's love of ergonomic furniture. His designs aim at a subtle balance between functionality and aesthetics - a perfect example of this is the Karuselli chair by Artek and other iconic designs such as the Saturnus table, the Skaala chair, the Remmi series, and the Ateljee armchair and sofa. In his career, Kukkapuro has received many national and international awards - incl. Lunning Prize in 1966, First Prize at the International Chair Design Competition in Italy in 1972 and the Kaj Franck Design Prize in 1995. His works are permanently present in museums around the world, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, MoMA in New York and Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. Avarte was established as a continuation of the family company Haimi. In 1980, Haimi employees acquired the company for themselves and changed the company name to Avarte. Haimi was a Finnish furniture manufacturer founded in 1943 that was especially known as the producer of Yrjö Kukkapuro designs. Avarte continued to manufacture furniture until 2013, when the company ha been ceased. In addition to Yrjö Kukkapuro's designs, Avarte also produced furniture designed by Samula Naamanka, Mikko Paakkanen and Simo Heikkilä...
