About the Item

Discover an extraordinary set of six "T" chairs of a rare, raw elegance, designed by the master Finnish designer Olavi Hanninen for the French market. These exceptional pieces, edited by Mikko Nupponen in the 1970s, perfectly embody the Brutalist movement in furniture, where the authenticity of materials takes precedence over superfluous ornamentation. Each chair is sculpted from high-quality solid elm, revealing a rich and unique grain. The remarkable 5 cm thickness of the structure gives the set a monumental presence and unwavering durability. The design, both minimalist and powerful, is characterized by clean lines and a distinctive "T" shape that combines a comfortable seat with a bold aesthetic. More than just seats, these chairs are true functional sculptures that tell a story. They bear witness to an era when design dared to affirm the inherent beauty of wood without artifice, focusing instead on form and texture. Their harmonious dimensions allow them to integrate majestically into a contemporary dining room, an architect's office, or an art gallery. Dimensions: Height: 80 cm (31.5 in) Seat Height: 45 cm (17.7 in) Depth: 45 cm (17.7 in) Width: 40 cm (15.7 in) Thickness: 5 cm (1.9 in) This set is a unique opportunity to acquire collector's items. Each chair is in excellent condition, with a natural patina that enhances the richness of the wood and testifies to a rich history. These chairs are very rarely found on the market, making them a valuable investment for collectors and lovers of Scandinavian and Brutalist design. Gift yourself a legacy of design: this set of "T" chairs will add a touch of authentic character and discreet power to your interior, and will continue to appreciate in value over time. The chairs will be packaged in three separate parcels to ensure their safety and prevent any damage during transport.
