About the Item
Listed is a wonderful set of four Italian sculptural armchairs, produced by Malatesta and Mason in the early 1950s. They feature in Charlotte and Peter Fiell’s ‘1950s Decorative Art’, p. 23-24., published by Taschen, but remain a hidden gem for design connoisseurs as they are rarely seen on the market.
Beautifully carved form solid beech, carrying a stunning plywood seat, these chairs will become the instant center piece of every Mid-Century Modern project.
The listed chairs are in a wonderful vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use, some more wear to some of the armrests. Chairs are all original and evenly used, and very rarely seen with just a wooden seat. Let alone finding a set of 4 identical ones!

View AllSet of 4 Galvanitas Oosterhout NV S16 Compass Chairs, Dutch Design, 1950s
By Galvanitas
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
For sale is a lovely set of four Galvanitas S16 Compass Chairs, arguably the most iconic school chair ever produced. The first to design with sheet metal was obviously Jean Prouve, but in The Netherlands the experiments with these classic compass leg subframes really exploded in the 1950s.
Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld designed the similar looking Result Chair for Ahrend in the same period, but the S16 turned out to be the most successful —featuring in most schools and canteens of office- and government buildings.
Made from a sheet steel frame with a fine laminated and formed seat and back by Pagholz, the iconic S16 Chair...

By L.O.V. Oosterbeek
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
