About the Item

Historical Mid-Century Modern Swiss German Industrial swivel stool by Albert Stoll II for Giroflex Stoll, Switzerland. Ergonomic round dimpled oak seat sits atop the first patented spring cushioning system made of steel. Flanked with torpedo-wing feed in solid oak. Original, unrestored condition with gorgeous patina. In 1872 Albert Stoll I established a chair factory in Koblenz which focused on the production of bentwood chairs for cafés, hotels and stores. Starting in 1919, his son, Albert Stoll ll, concentrated on the development and production of office chairs. In 1926, he invented the "Federdreh" ("Spring swivel"), which quickly became famous and was patented worldwide. This was the first swivel chair with a suspension system. The brand name "Giroflex" (turn and flex) can be traced back to this invention. In 1948 the brand name “Giroflex” was introduced. Albert Stoll II. improves the American office chair and designs a swivel chair that he calls the "Federdreh" (loosely translated as the "sprung swivel"). At the Leipzig trade fair in 1926, he shows his new product to the public for the first time. It is the worldwide patented "Federdreh", the first swivel chair with rotatable column-type spring suspension.

1960s Scandinavian Modern Danish Solid Teak Round Dining Table

1960s Scandinavian Modern Danish Solid Teak Round Dining Table

By Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Eero Saarinen

Located in Grand Cayman, KY

Very elegant 1960s round dining table Made in Denmark, unusually constructed from solid teak wood (not veneered). Quintessential Scandinavian Modern design: minimal, fine materials, highly practical, clean smooth lines, sturdy construction and timeless aesthetic. The table has a diameter of 40 in (100 cm) and a single leg, which achieves an uncluttered appearance under the table and buttressing into four feet that rise a low profile parallel to the floor. This leg form in teak bears a striking resemblance to the iconic La Fonda base by Charles Eames, which was cast in Aluminum. Table height is standard 28.5 in (72 cm). The leg and feet are also carved from beautiful solid, strait grained teak. The table has been professionally refinished in a hard wax oil which faithfully presents the original look and feel whilst providing contemporary levels of robust protection. The table has only extremely minor signs of wear considering the age and use. This timeless table shows every promise of gracing a kitchen or dining room for another 60 years, and then some. The contemporaneous cognac leather shell chairs...
