The easy chairs SZ 01 en SZ 02 were designed by Martin Visser in 1960. The SZ 01 was originally woven from pulp cane, but in the middle of the nineties this was replaced by synthetic cane. This was because the pulp cane that could still be obtained in the Netherlands was not of the required quality. Synthetic cane is both flexible and strong. It retains its colour and is easy to clean. The armchairs are available in black, off white and natural (caramel-coloured) synthetic cane (SZ 01) The easy chairs are also available in black and natural saddle leather (SZ 02). Natural leather is a non coloured leather and will darken under the influence of light. It will be delivered in an almost pink tone and fade into a warm cognac tone. The time it will take to fade from a pink tone into a cognac tone will depend on the amount and the kind of light, but it will take at least several months. Saddle leather will also stretch a little over time. Any marks on the leather should not be considered as faults. These merely confirm the authenticity and quality of saddle leather. The leather seat has a lace at the bottom, which gives the possibility to tighten the seat after a while. The back of the chair has a buckle, so also the back can be tightened. The frames are made of matt chrome-plated metal. |
