Willy Van Der Meeren, F1 Lounge Chair for Tubax

Out of stock

A rare and remarkably pure iteration of the F1 chair designed by Belgian modernist Willy Van Der Meeren for Tubax in the early 1950s. Unlike the more common vinyl-upholstered versions, this example features a wooden seat and backrest paired with a cream-coloured steel frame, a finish virtually never seen in F1 production. The result is a piece with a soft, architectural presence while retaining its industrial character.

The chair is in very good condition with consistent, authentic wear. An exceptionally rare version of an iconic Belgian modernist design, never seen in this configuration.
