This set of 4 dining chairs were designed by Søren Nissen and Ebbe Gehl in 1980 and produced in France. They are made of solid elm and beech wood and have a beautiful patina. Each chair features a geometric detail in the backrest, composed of intersecting wooden elements arranged in a structured pattern. The frame includes straight lines and angles that form a visual composition with a repetitive structure. The chairs have a curved seat and a stable base, constructed with joined wooden components. The backrest and base are connected through a geometric frame, which also provides structural support. These chairs were developed during a time when Nissen and Gehl were producing furniture with clear construction methods and visible joinery. The chairs reflect their approach to woodworking and their use of solid materials in both functional and decorative components. The design allows for multiple chairs to be used together in a dining setting, maintaining visual consistency and alignment.

The set of chairs is showing similarities with the well known 'Model S45' chair by Pierre Chapo, also know as 'Chlacc' dining chair. Which were also manufactured by Seltz for Pierre Chapo Creations.
