Pair of M352 Lyre chairs in molded plywood, Theo Häberli, 1968

Pair of M352 model chairs, known as "Lyre," designed in 1968 by Swiss designer Theo Häberli. Their molded and perforated plywood shell, here lacquered in white, creates a slender and graphic silhouette characteristic of his formal explorations in the late 1960s. Each chair rests on a central four-legged base of chromed, bent steel tubing, combining stability with visual lightness. The set perfectly illustrates the combination of industrial materials and precise wood molding, typical of European design of this period. Switzerland, circa 1970.
