A set of three Loewenstein/Oggo chairs designed and manufactured in the United States in the 1960's.
Also known as a Thonet chair, characterized by its bentwood frame and woven cane seat and back. These chairs are notable for their lightweight yet sturdy construction and have a long history dating back to the mid-19th century.
The chair's frame is constructed from bentwood, a technique pioneered by Michael Thonet in the 1840s. This method involves steaming wood to make it pliable and then bending it into shape, allowing for the creation of curved forms that are both strong and visually appealing.
The seat and backrest are made of woven cane, a material that provides both comfort and ventilation. This material is durable and adds to the chair's classic aesthetic.
The chair's design can be traced back to Michael Thonet's No. 14 chair, introduced in 1859, which is considered the first mass-produced piece of furniture. The No. 33 Bentwood Chair, introduced in 1902 and reintroduced in 1927, also shares similar design elements and was popular among architects and designers.
The chairs retain the manufacturers label.
