About the Item

Geometric lines meet smooth curves in the 1960 Chair. The fluent curves of the plywood are supported by a square frame, which creates a lightweight chair with a dynamic feel. The 1960 Chair allows for comfortable sitting on a well-shaped plywood seat.The seat and backrest are also available with offset upholstery, which creates additional comfort without diminishing the contours and subtleness of the original design. The 1960 family range is built on the satisfying invention of bending wood into shapes which optimally suit the human body. While maintaining the likeable tactile properties of natural wood, the design that underpins the 1960 range never goes out of style. The cleverly designed curves of the original chair by Niko Kralj inspired us to work on a complete 1960 range to meet present-day demands for authentic design and uncomplicated warmth. With over two million chairs produced, the designs of Niko Kralj (1920-2013) have served numerous generations. After the Second World War, traditional production methods gave way to modern inventions and led to a new era of furniture design. As a trained architect and an absolute pioneer in this field, Niko developed truly innovative pieces for the time and became one of the first ever industrial designers. It’s little wonder that fellow professionals are gradually recognising his work, which has been rewarded with permanent displays in design museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Designmuseum Denmark and The International Design Museum Munich. 1960 Chair in Mid-Century Modern style is now available in black oak and natural oak.
