This small chair dates from the 1950s and was specially designed for children. It shows the typical design language of the post-war period, where functionality, simplicity, and colourful accents were in the foreground.

The seat shell is upholstered in orange faux leather stretched over a plywood frame. Particularly characteristic is the half-moon cut-out in the backrest, which on the one hand looks decorative and on the other makes the chair appear visually lighter. The seat and back are padded, providing a certain level of comfort — by no means a given for children’s furniture of that time. A light-coloured piping running all around frames the seat area and gives the piece a clear, almost playful accent.

The underframe consists of four outwardly splayed, solid wood legs that taper towards the bottom, probably beech. This construction ensures good stability and is strongly oriented towards Scandinavian design, which at the time had influence across Europe. On the back, the upholstery is fastened with visible rivets.

Condition: The children’s chair is in stable, usable condition, but shows clear signs of wear. On the upper edge of the backrest, the upholstery is damaged and has been temporarily fixed with tape. The seat and back are otherwise intact, with a slight patina and smaller scratches in the faux leather. The wooden legs are stable, but have spot scratches and signs of abrasion. Overall, an authentic piece with a distinct vintage character that reflects the 1950s well in its colour and design language.
