The pair embodies the whimsical fervor of the period, from 1960s.  Featuring a solid teak frame produced from laminated beech topped with a thick veneer of teak, with dramatic swooping bi color armrests, formed with perfection as they flow seamlessly to meet the tapered, round legs. The back cushion rest against a seven spindle backrest, the seat cushion rest on (France & Daverkosen) loop superspring base patent applied.  The back and seat cushions make these chairs just as comfortable as they are beautiful, with amazing form.
