Orange Floris Chair, ca. 1967
About the Item
The Floris Chair (ca. 1967) by Günter Beltzig is a landmark of 1960s radical design, showcasing the era’s experimental approach to form and function. Made from orange lacquered polyester, its anthropomorphic shape challenges traditional seating norms and reflects Beltzig’s protest against rigid functionalism. Ergonomically designed for comfort, the chair aligns with the countercultural movements of the late 1960s that sought to redefine societal values. First exhibited at the 1968 Cologne Furniture Fair alongside groundbreaking works like Verner Panton’s Visiona 0, the chair was produced in a limited edition of 35 to 50 pieces, each handcrafted in Beltzig’s Wuppertal workshop. Now part of prestigious collections such as the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Floris Chair remains a symbol of 1960s innovation, blending avant-garde aesthetics with functional design.
