Post modern dutch vintage armchair by mazairac & boonzaaijer, 1980s

Vintage “Space Mission” armchair in a postmodern style, designed by the studio Pierre Mazairac and Karel Boonzaaijer & Partners, 1988. The armchair features a plywood seat and backrest supported by a futuristic black metal frame, with blue upholstered cushions. The backrest features a beautiful graphic design of twisted diamonds in light and dark wood. This armchair is from the unconventional and non-commercial collection released since 1988 under the name FUNiture. The influence of the Italian Memphis group shifted their furniture design style from functionalist to postmodernist. The collection has been widely discussed both nationally and internationally. The Space Mission has been described as a piece of furniture of “historical importance” and with “high design value” (source: Wikipedia). Condition: good to very good vintage condition. The fabric upholstery is neat. The padding is firm and supple. The woodwork is intact. Dimensions: width 65 cm, depth 79 cm, height 78 cm, seat height 37 cm.
