Pair of SE 18 chairs by Bataille & Ibens for 't Spectrum, 1971

About the Item

Rare pair of SE18 chairs by the Belgian designers Claire Bataille and Paul Ibens, produced by 't Spectrum. This model was only produced from 1971 until 1974. Very limited compared to other models by 't Spectrum, hence their rarity. Very intersting design with the double tubing holding the leather seats and back. Steel tubular frame with thick saddle leather seat and back, finished in black. By the years the leather has developped a stunning patina in shades of brown. What a pair!

Martin Visser SE20 chair 't Spectrum Netherlands 1988
By Martin Visser
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Super rare two tone version of the SE20 chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by 't Spectrum, Netherlands in 1988. The chair is made from yellow and off-white painted plywood. This unique chair has a ultimate modernist and contemporary appearance. This design blends various shapes and design techniques seamlessly into one iconic piece. The backrest has a slight angle for comfort and a nicely curved seat. The front legs are ingeniously made in a triangle shape for stability and are placed in the opposite angle to the back legs. Its quite a heavy and solid chair and is partly hollow which is found in the seat. Its held together by chrome-plated bolts which are made visible and give that little extra to the design. Its a really playful chair and could act more as an art piece than an actual chair. Its also attractive from every side. The chair is in good original condition with minor wear from age. Provenance; Father of Nynke Tynagel, then Studio Job Collection...
