A modern Nordic stacking chair that is the pinnacle of functional beauty

This is a rare vintage item believed to be the classic "Portex" chair, designed by Danish design pioneers Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen in the 1940s and 1950s, or a chair that faithfully inherits its design.
*As there is no clear logo or markings, we have to guess the designer based on the texture and design.

Its greatest feature is the organic curves of the backrest, which is made using plywood.

It combines a gentle, enveloping hold on the body with a visually light feel, and does not feel oppressive when placed in the dining room.
Furthermore, the joints of the legs and the fit of the seat all seem to exude the precise and rational structural beauty that is typical of their background as architects.

This series was originally designed for use in public facilities and offices, and is characterized by its durability and stackability, making it extremely practical.

The texture of the wood, which has deepened over the years, is a unique charm that only vintage items can offer. Even a single chair has a presence like an objet d'art, and it is an item that can be used as an accent for a desk chair or dining room, bringing timeless sophistication to any space.

Please take this opportunity to consider it.
