Set of Four Rare 1970 Pagholz FPF Elmar Flotto Stacking Dining Chairs

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning set of four Pagholz Pagwood FPF Elmar Flototto stacking chairs from 1970 Furniture manufacturing company Flötotto began in 1906 when Heinrich Flötotto opened his woodworking atelier in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. Within a few decades, the business expanded its focus from bespoke interiors to serial furniture production. At the end of World War II, Heinrich’s sons Fritz and Franz took the helm and began to build the brand’s reputation for durable, modern chairs, desks, shelving, and more for schools, offices, and institutions. Flötotto’s ergonomic, moulded plywood (or pagholz) seating became ubiquitous in German classrooms through the postwar era. From 1969-1991, Flötotto was directed by a third generation: husband-and-wife teams Elmar and Anna Flötotto, Reinhard and Barbara Flötotto, and Hubertus and Ingrid Flötotto. In 1969, they launched the Optimal collection of adjustable-height student workspaces. In 1975, they introduced the award-winning, modular, beechwood Profilsystem furnishings line. Most recently, in 2012, Flötotto made headlines when it commissioned designer Konstantin Grcic to create a new line of school furniture, the award-winning PRO collection. PRO’s most characteristic feature is the S-shaped shell that enables a dynamic yet comfortable sitting experience, based on principles of “active sitting.” The family sold the business in 1998 but bought it back in 2002. Since 2008, Flötotto has been owned by Elmar Flötotto. The chairs are very sculptural and the timber patina is to die for, each seat base has a textured grain so they are non slip, we have deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished them from top to bottom, each chair is fully stamped with the Pagholz Pagwood mark and then the designers stamp Flototto FPF The only point to note is one of the chairs has three additional predrilled holes, I have no idea why Dimensions: Height:- 77.5cm Width:- 56cm Depth:- 48cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.

Adam Stegner Plywood Midcentury Stackable Chairs for Pagholz Flottöto, 1971

By Pagholz Flötotto, Adam Stegner

Located in Vicenza, IT

Set of Six Stackable Chairs Designed by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, 1971 This set of six stackable chairs features: - Solid Pagwood molded seats (high-density laminated compressed wood) - Orthopedic pelvic and back support for ergonomic comfort - Sturdy solid iron legs - Stackable design for space efficiency Excellent vintage condition About the Design: Designed in 1971 by Adam Stegner for Pagholz Flötotto, these chairs showcase German engineering in both form and function. The innovative Pagwood material—a high-density, laminated compressed wood—was developed to provide durability while maintaining a sleek, organic aesthetic. The contoured seat design offers built-in orthopedic support, ensuring comfort without the need for mechanical adjustments. Set on solid iron legs, the structure is both lightweight and highly resistant, making the chairs ideal for high-use environments. About the Manufacturer: Pagholz Flötotto is known for pioneering molded wood technology, combining natural aesthetics with industrial strength. The company played a key role in the development of ergonomic seating solutions, particularly for educational and professional spaces. Historical Context: The 1970s saw a shift towards innovative material applications in furniture design. Pagwood, with its balance of strength and flexibility, represented a breakthrough in molded wood technology. Stegner’s design prioritized both function and minimalism, aligning with the modernist movement of the era. Why These Chairs Stand Out: These Pagholz Flötotto chairs...
