Blue Fiberglass Bench by Walter Papst for Wilkhahn, Germany, 1960s
About the Item
Stunning blue fiberglass bench designed by Walter Papst for Wilkhahn, Germany, 1960s.
Walter Papst was one of the first European designers to use fiberglass to fabricate furniture. The design of the bench is naive, almost simplistic since it is made out of 1 piece of molded fiberglass. But nonetheless, it is a very sophisticated item because it was made with beautiful slanted angles, which gives it a very sculptural and architectural look. The stunning bright blue color makes it pure eye candy. The blue color is the original color and could be described as 'modernist blue' or 'le corbusier blue' and has a great brightness to it. It is rare to find these kinds of benches in this good of a condition. Only minor defects that are consistent with its age and use (visible in the pictures).
The design of the bench is typical for the design period of "space age", but due to its bright blue color, it also looks very contemporary. It was designed to be used outdoors, but the bench can of course also be used indoors. It suits any kind of living room, entertainment room, gallery, or retail space.
