Martin Visser Modernist Prototype Chair SE20 Spectrum, 1988

About the Item

Rare prototype side chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by ’t Spectrum Bergeyk 1988. This chair is the pre production of model number SE20 and was eventually made in several color combinations. This is a fully hand-painted blue example in very nice original condition. This chair comes from thee state of a former Spectrum employee who took this chair from a stock sale in the early 1990. The chair is made of plywood and is quite heavy. Partly hollow and assembled with bolts. Very nice deep blue color, the color that was later on used to produce it in. The chair is signed at the bottom with pencil; P1 which probably means prototype nr 1. Have a look at the other red and blue one we have in stock, which are identical chairs but differently finished. Important literature: 't Spectrum Moderne meubelvormgeving en naoorlogs idealisme. Uitgeverij 010, Rotterdam 2002. Page 102.

Martin Visser SE20 chair 't Spectrum Netherlands 1988
By Martin Visser
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Super rare two tone version of the SE20 chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by 't Spectrum, Netherlands in 1988. The chair is made from yellow and off-white painted plywood. This unique chair has a ultimate modernist and contemporary appearance. This design blends various shapes and design techniques seamlessly into one iconic piece. The backrest has a slight angle for comfort and a nicely curved seat. The front legs are ingeniously made in a triangle shape for stability and are placed in the opposite angle to the back legs. Its quite a heavy and solid chair and is partly hollow which is found in the seat. Its held together by chrome-plated bolts which are made visible and give that little extra to the design. Its a really playful chair and could act more as an art piece than an actual chair. Its also attractive from every side. The chair is in good original condition with minor wear from age. Provenance; Father of Nynke Tynagel, then Studio Job Collection...
