A bar chair, but slightly different!
Sit down & relax! That is more than appropriate with this set of 4 great chairs.
These chairs are attributed by various sources to topform, AWA or WeBe. No concrete evidence for this pedigree has ever been found, no brochure, proof of purchase or mark.
What does stand as a fait accompli is that the manufacturer had machinery that belonged to the most modern in the country.
This set was purchased in the early 1960s and in terms of styling it was completely in line with what several manufacturers brought onto the market. We also see the bars or rather the ladder backrest on chairs that Cees Braakman designed for Pastoe.
However, there is 1 big difference with all other ladder chairs that have been released, this version is just a bit more luxurious, wider, more comfortable and above all more special in shape.
The seat is slightly preformed, we see beautiful contours in it, it was decided to provide the seat with a filling and to mount it on a kind of shell of bent plywood. That process, bending thin wood into a shell, was a costly and highly sophisticated process that few mastered at the time.
The technique is very reminiscent of that of the well-known furniture from Eames, which also formed an important part of the design.
It is remarkable that this chair is often attributed to 3 different manufacturers, but all had a link with the well-known designer Louis van Teeffelen. When you look at design, use of materials, but above all the seating comfort, it is quite possible that we are dealing with a design by him.
It is known that chairs of his hand are organic in nature with sculptural elements, and have a phenomenal seating comfort, they are also very practical.
