About the Item

The Toga chair was a product of 1960s nonconformity and space-age optimism in technological innovation. It was produced in 1968 by Sergio Mazza (b. 1931) as a complete piece of moulded fibreglass. The chair exemplifies the architect-trained designer’s fascination with high-tech processes and pioneering aesthetics, much of which was inspired by the fast-changing cultural scene he lived through. A model of the Toga chair is enshrined in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In good vintage condition, with some light discolouration. Small chip to front left hand side and slight crack to bottom right hand side.

Gerard Le Fe Fibreglass Chair for Prisunic Editions, France, circa 1970
By Prisunic
Located in London, GB
Prisunic editions was both a manufacturer and retailer founded in France during 1968. The company’s aim was to revolutionise the furniture industry within France offering the consumer a cutting edge product and retail experience. Prisunic editions sold its futuristic designs often from moulded plastic and fiberglass through a catalogue. Their approach was guided by a desire to create impactful design that was affordable to the masses. Their project attracted highly regarded designers from across Europe such as Marc Held, Gae Aulenti and Terence Conran. This chair’s form is very much a consequence of the moulding process employed. The chairs soft undulating curves are not an aesthetic decision per se but in fact the result of engineering. The chair is in good structural and cosmetic condition with minor signs of use and sits like a dream with our Marc Berthier Ozoo desk...
