about this Object:
Chair No.66 was a further development of stool No.60 with an attached backrest. Here the rear L-legs are bent at a different angle to serve as a base for the lower backrest. The L-legs are made from sawn birch plywood, with veneers glued in to increase strength in the bend. All in all, a restrained chair, which was designed to be agile and very stable. Our 4 chairs probably date from the 1960s, as can be seen from the patina. All come from the same previous owner and can be used around a table in the kitchen or dining area without offering "too much furniture".
