Set of 2 Galvanitas S16 chairs – Pagholz, marked, 1960s
Galvanitas S16 chairs – set of 2, Pagholz with branded mark
A set of two vintage Galvanitas S16 chairs, made by the metal works Galvanitas N.V. in Oosterhout. Under the seat is the burnt-in triangular factory mark ‘Metaalindustrie Oosterhout – Galvanitas N.V.’ (photo 11). Seat and backrest are made of Pagholz (moulded beech plywood) with a striking wood grain on the front and a reddish-brown back; the steel compass base is lacquered brown. These industrial school chairs stand in the tradition of Jean Prouvé and Friso Kramer and are among the classics of Dutch post-war design.
Why we chose this piece
A marked, original set with a beautiful flame-like wood grain and a lovely contrast between the light front and the dark red back.
Style and interior
Lovely as dining chairs in an industrial, loft or mid-century interior, at a work table or as desk chairs. Can be expanded with other S16 chairs into a larger set.
