Nicolle workshop chair / Nicolle type with whale tail backrest

Beautiful French workshop chair in metal, an iconic model with a whale tail backrest, in the spirit of Nicolle productions. Four-legged base in painted metallic green steel, with a central screw mechanism allowing for height adjustment of the seat. The round seat and backrest feature a pale green/cream finish, different from that of the base, likely indicating an old restoration or modification. There are several small holes on the seat and backrest, probably related to the past presence of a covering or upholstery. Beautiful overall patina and signs of use consistent with its history. A piece full of character that can be kept as is or restored according to the future owner's project. Perfect for an industrial, brutalist, loft, or artist's studio interior.
