Olavi Hänninen, Unique Gallo and Gallina, 1985

About the Item

These unique neo funk chairs Gallo and Gallina or "Rooster and Chicken" are designed by Finnish designer and interior architect Olavi Hänninen (1920-1992). Postmodern design influenced interior design in the 1970s till 1990s and landed 1980s in Finland. The design of the chairs screams form over function. The bold color scheme of the chairs black, white, yellow and red are characteristic of that style period. These whimsical chairs were on display at the Habitare trade fair in Helsinki in 1983 at the stand of Sisustusarkkitehdit SIO. Normal signs or wear and use. Some stains on the surface. Gallina dimensions width 48cm, seat height 44cm, height 74cm. We recommend using 1stdibs shipping on this set.

  • Alvar Aalto War Time Chairs Model 69, Artek 1940s
    By Oy Huonekalu-ja Rakennustyötehdas Ab, Alvar Aalto
    Located in Helsinki, FI
    A very rare Alvar Aalto chair model 69, manufactured during the 2nd World war years in the 1940s. The iconic L-leg is different in these pieces compared to the normal. As a result of the war, Finland had a shortage of resources including glue, which was normally used in these chairs, so Aalto came up with a new design called the finger joint, to save recources during difficult times. Although can be used as a nornmal chair, this is also a very nice collectors item. We have 2 chairs, and both are stamped "Artek Aalto design" . Can be sold individually or as a pair. Reupholstered in Artek Fabric...
