DETAILS
A set of 4 extraodinary lounge chairs, model No. 416, designed by Wim Rietveld and André Cordemeyer for Gispen in 1957. These were the first Dutch armchairs crafted using a single molded polyester shell, an innovative technique at the time. The sculpturally shaped light grey/beige seats rest on a tubular metal frame with rubber shock mounts, combining durability and comfort. These chairs are in completely original condition, an uncommon find—especially as a set of 4.
