Rare Design Icon Rocking Sun Chair by Metz & Co. Vitra Design Museum, 1930

About the Item

An amazing piece for your chair collection: This sun chair was made in 1930 by Metz & Co. in Holland. The metal base is in the original condition, but we think the fabric is renewed in the 1950s. It is really amazing how comfortable this piece is. You easily change the position by pressing you back and feet against the metal frame. Only a few months ago Vitra Design Museum published a new book and the chair is part of the design history: ATLAS Of FURNITURE, published by Vitra Design Museum.
