About the Item
A rare and spirited Set of Four "Emil" dining chairs, produced in 1973 by the Zala Furniture Factory in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary. This distinctive set embodies the functional and unadorned aesthetic of Eastern European Mid-Century design, offering a unique provenance often overlooked in the broader market. The chairs feature sturdy, square-profile wood frames and beautifully curved teak-veneered backrests that provide a striking visual and material contrast to the light wood of the frame. This blend of materials and straightforward construction creates a profile that is both grounded and highly graphic.
The seating comfort and character of the set are dramatically enhanced by the original, thick lime green upholstered cushions. The vibrant color and plush texture of the cushions are playfully expressive, perfectly capturing the optimistic and occasionally funky spirit of 1970s design. The cushions are removable, set neatly within the wood frames, maintaining the chair's clean lines while offering maximum comfort. The design emphasizes straightforward functionality and material integrity, making them an excellent choice for a vintage-focused dining space.
The set is in its original, as-found condition, displaying visible but normal wear consistent with their age and use, but the wood has been lightly refinished. The sturdy frames are structurally sound and ready for continued use. This striking set offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of unique Hungarian Mid-Century design, hand-selected and imported directly from Europe. Please inquire for additional photos or details.
