Folding scissor chair 1950 France

About the Item

A stunning folding scissor chair, both decorative and functional. It boasts a highly architectural construction thanks to its minimalist design, with a simplicity that is visually striking. This chair can be used as a decorative extra seat in any residential or commercial project. We found it in France and assume that's where it originated, but it also carries a hint of Dutch modernism. The angular arched seat, with low legs and a high back, gives the chair a slightly reminiscent touch of 'hunting chairs.' Both parts are made of solid black-stained pine and are in very good condition. The chair can be folded for convenient storage.
