Mid Century Dining chair n.515 by Oswald Haerdtl for TON Company

About the Item

Oswald Haerdtl, one of the most influential Austrian Architects of the 20th Century designed this iconic chair in 1955, simply labelled 'No. 515’. Haerdtl was a master of proportions. On this chair he created an expressive design form whilst using a minimalist language. Like his architecture, there is a total focus on every detail, for example the hidden screws on the back rest, using the old Thonet bentwood technique and the materiality of the dark brown colour and texture of the wood. This all makes this chair as modern and attractive as it was 60 years ago. The original fabric has been damaged beyond repair and therefore have been re-upholstered. A bright yellow fabric has been chosen to replace the worn original to compliment the dark colour of the wooden frame. This piece is in great vintage condition. In a recent restoration, the original damaged varnish was removed by hand and replaced by an Nitro varnish in order to achieve again the original look of the coloured beech together with a greater gloss finish.
