Pair Of Vintage Chairs, Model 231/5, In Orange Fabric And Aluminum By Wilkhahn, 1970s
Artist: Wilkhahn
An iconic duo of 1970s design. This superb pair of chairs was produced by the renowned German manufacturer Wilkhahn, an absolute benchmark in ergonomics and architect-designed furniture.
This is the highly sought-after model 231/5, which perfectly embodies the "Space Age" aesthetic of the era. Each seat consists of a black composite back shell, contrasting beautifully with a textured fabric upholstery in a particularly vibrant and luminous orange. The whole rests on a heavy, five-star central base made of solid cast aluminum, ensuring perfect stability and a strong architectural line. Extremely comfortable, these chairs, with their bold and timeless design, are ideal as office chairs facing each other, or for adding a pop and sophisticated touch to a waiting area.
Authentication: The authenticity of the set is guaranteed by the manufacturer's label and the logo engraved under the seats.
Condition and details:
Good condition. This pair is in excellent overall condition. The original orange fabric is clean, taut, and retains its vibrant color. As these are vintage pieces, there are only normal signs of wear consistent with age and use, including a natural patina and light surface scratches on the aluminum legs and back panels. These discreet marks attest to their history without detracting from their structural beauty.

• Style: Vintage / Space Age (1970s)
• Materials: Fabric, composite, and cast aluminum
