Set of 6 SL58 Dining Chairs by Léon Stynen, 1950s

About the Item

The SL58 chair was designed by Belgian architect Léon Stynen in 1958. It was made in collaboration with Stynen his assistant; architect Paul de Meyer. The chair was designed for Straatman, Loral & Cie, an Antwerp company that presented it at world Expo 58 in Brussels. Even as an architect, Leon Stynen designed numerous pieces of furniture, often for specific interiors. But only a very few of them are on the market. The SL58 chair is a timeless classic of Belgian design: an elegant chair with tubular steel legs and a seat in curved multiplex. A magnificent design reduced to pure simplicity and continuity. This set is upholstered in a brown velvet fabric, which makes this chairs soft and extra comfortable. The chairs are signed underneath with SL, which refers to Straatman, Loral & Cie and not to Stynen Léon. Often there is a misunderstanding about the initinals.
