Set 6 vintage 'SM08' dining chairs Cees Braakman for Pastoe 1960s

In 1947, Braakman was sent to the United States to observe other manufacturers’ designs and practices. He was particularly inspired by the Herman Miller Company and by Charles and Ray Eames. Upon his return to the Netherlands, he began experimenting with bent plywood and created Pastoe’s first modern furniture line. He went on to develop several lines of popular furniture, marked by clean, elegant lines and a sense of proportion tailored to smaller living spaces. During the 1950s and ’60s, Braakman placed particular emphasis on modular storage solutions.His designs are shown in the Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum. He passed away in Utrecht in 1995. This very rare set SM08 dining chairs are from the Japanese period and are in major good condition.
