2x Kilta Chair by Olli Mannermaa.

The iconic Kilta chair was designed in 1955 by the Finnish interior architect Olli Mannermaa for Martele ( known at the time as Tehokaluste ) The German furniture manufacturer Eugen Schmidt ( famous for the brand ES Mobel ) later produced this renowned chair under license in Germany for the European market , much as Cassina did in Italy.

It was the very first Finnish chair with the seat shell molded entirely from a single piece polystyrene ( expanded plastic )

The chair was produced as a comfortable lounge arm chair, dining chair and executive chair.

This made the chair extremely lightweight , easy to handle and organic in shape.

Has been included in the permanent Design Collection of the MoMa in New York
