Description«One of the great semi-anonymous chairs, and probably the best folding armchair ever produced. Designed by Niko Kralj, the plywood seat and back have machined slots running from side to side which lighten the structure visually as well as physically. They also provide sideways stability so that only two more elements running across the chair are needed to brace the legs and armrest. The pivot points are positioned to fold the chair in one smooth movement. A masterpiece which has sold in big numbers over several decades.»
