The chair designed by Józef Chierowski is the most famous and recognizable piece of Polish design from the 1960s. It was created in 1962 in the Lower Silesian furniture factories in Świebodzice and had a worldwide career. It is a very simple piece of furniture. Definitely modern. This is how it was perceived more than 60 years ago. Its style was definitely different from other solid chairs of the early 1960's.The chair has undergone a complete renovation. The wooden structure was divided into two parts to eliminate the cracks created at the joints by time and to eliminate mobility due to crumbling glue. The next step was to clean the old layers of paint and varnish. The frame was re-glued and painted with teak satin paint at the end.The seat was also dismantled from old layers of material, foam and belts. The reinforcement could be built from scratch using medium hard foam, straps and bugs. At the very end, the seat was covered with a hydrophobic fabric.
