About the Item
The Tubular Steel Chair Model No. 1242 by Rudolf Vichr, designed in the 1930s, is a stunning example of modernist craftsmanship. Featuring a nickel-plated steel tube frame, the chair balances industrial design with natural materials. The seat, backrest, and armrests are made of solid beech wood, stained and lacquered in a warm honey tone, offering a rich contrast to the sleek metal structure. The molded beech plywood seat, composed of three slats with external dowels at the back, exemplifies the functional yet artistic approach of the era.
This cantilever chair remains in its original condition, displaying a beautiful patina that adds to its authenticity and charm. As a piece crafted by the Czech steel furniture manufacturer Vichr, it is a rare and collectible item that captures the spirit of the Bauhaus movement, where form follows function and simplicity is key. The cantilever design, with its distinctive floating effect, highlights the innovative vision that shaped modern furniture design in the 20th century.
