About the Item

A pair of adjustable oak outdoor of garden chairs in the French modernist style of the 1950's. The reed seated chairs can be adjusted in three comfortable positions; upright, relaxed and reclining similar to the deck chairs. The positioning is easy adjustable with a slotting and locking system. The Mid-Century Modern movement was rooted in functionality, simplicity, and elegance. Earlier many designers of the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier championed the concept that good design could be for everyone, this filtered into the ideology of mid-century designers. These outdoor chairs are an example of the post war revolution of modern design.
