Description:
|
Set of four stacking chairs in brown, yellow and light and dark orange. They are made of steel tubing frames filled with latex foam and covered with a stretchable polyester jersey fabric. Commissioned and manufactured by the Dutch company Artifort. While not overt, the reference to a tongue fits in the Pop vogue of 1967, when they were designed.
