Vintage Presikhaaf chair – Pagholz and compass legs, 1960s
Vintage Presikhaaf chair – Pagholz on compass legs
A vintage school chair by the Dutch manufacturer Presikhaaf of Arnhem. Its distinctive features are the gracefully curved back uprights that continue in one line beneath the seat, so the seat seems to ‘float’, combined with tapering compass legs with a connecting bar. Seat and backrest are made of Pagholz (moulded beech plywood) in a warm reddish-brown tone. An elegant industrial chair from the heyday of Dutch school furniture, in the spirit of Jean Prouvé and Friso Kramer.
Why we chose this piece
Because of the special, flowing line of the frame: just a little more refined than the usual compass chairs. On the back of the backrest there is a stamped code ’60-05′ (photo 8), possibly a production date.
Style and interior
A lovely single chair for a desk, workspace or hallway, or as a characterful extra chair at the dining table in an industrial, vintage or mid-century interior.
