This authentic 1950s industrial school chair is a classic piece of Belgian design history, created by the renowned modernist architect and designer Willy van der Meeren for Tubax. Combining minimalist post-war functionalism with a rugged industrial aesthetic, this chair is both a durable piece of furniture and a striking design statement. The chair features a sturdy, tubular steel frame with a dark green/black lacquered finish, showcasing a beautiful natural patina and signs of wear that highlight its industrial heritage. The contoured seat and curved backrest are crafted from robust plywood, offering an ergonomic and surprisingly comfortable seating experience. In good vintage condition. The frame and wooden elements show charming wear, scratches, and a weathered finish consistent with decades of classroom use. These imperfections add unique character, authenticity, and a desirable industrial edge.Aesthetic: Perfect for loft apartments, creative workspaces, or modern dining rooms looking for a touch of mid-century brutalist charm. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
