About the Item

A set of four red Viennese Sonett chairs by Karl Fostel Sen.'s Erben, Austria, manufactured in midcentury, circa 1950. They are made of painted metal. There is little wear and few chips on lacquer which gives them a very nice patina. These chairs can be used indoor and outdoor. After the second world war, the tubular steel furniture factory Karl Fostel Sen.’s Erben, founded in 1890, specialized in modern outdoor furniture made of steel and light metal. Based on the tradition of metal furniture, the company developed the series Sonett as a product line for modern garden furniture, in line with the international trend prevalent after the second world war.
