Product description
Product description
An exceptional set of four dining chairs designed by Austrian architect and designer Oswald Haerdtl. This is a less commonly found model, distinguished by a unique cut-out shape in the backrest, differing from the more frequently encountered versions of his dining chairs.
The design combines elegance and functionality: sculpted wooden backrests flow seamlessly into upholstered seats, while the slender legs give the chairs a light and refined appearance. The overall impression is calm, balanced, and timeless.
A key highlight of this set is its excellent original condition, including the beautifully preserved original upholstery fabric, which significantly enhances both authenticity and collector value.
Historical background
Oswald Haerdtl was a central figure in Austrian modernism. His furniture designs reflect an architectural approach—clear structure, subtle curves, and strong attention to ergonomics. His chairs were often created for refined interiors, cafés, and public spaces, combining durability with visual restraint.Style and use
Perfect for:
-
mid-century modern dining interiors
-
gallery-style and curated spaces
-
stylish apartments, villas, or design-led projects
-
pairing with both solid wood and minimalist dining tables
Thanks to their preserved original upholstery, the chairs work equally well as everyday seating or as a collector’s set.
Interesting facts
The uncommon backrest cut-out suggests a specific and less-produced variation of the model. Such details are highly valued by collectors and make this set particularly appealing within the context of post-war European design.Technical specification
