This iconic chair is upholstered in beautiful brown velvet, soft to the touch and creating a wonderful elegant style. The seat and backrests are divided in two interlocking pieces, making it possible to change the seating position for maximum comfort. The feet are made of dark brown lacquered wood, perfectly matching the warm and elegant appeal of the piece. A real eye-catcher in any interior and a must-have for any Dutch design enthusiast!

The chair remains in very good condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
