1960s Bernard Holdaway Tomotom Medium Chair in Red
About the Item
Designed by Bernard Holdaway for Hull Traders during Shirley Craven’s tenure, this 1960s chair was created as an affordable furniture solution for low-income families. Constructed from industrial cardboard with a durable enamel-painted finish, it was intended to be lightweight, inexpensive, and even disposable. Due to its ephemeral nature, very few examples have survived, making it a rare piece today. Its bold circular form, integrated curved backrest, and distinctive cut-out detail highlight the innovative and experimental approach of Hull Traders during this period. A unique example of British modernist design and social history.
