Small Artifort Oyster chair model 156 designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort in 1957-1958. Artifort started making this design classic in 1959. This easy chair has been reupholstered, has a wonderful seating comfort and was made in the 1960s. The Artifort Oyster was available in two sizes. The large version model 157 (men’s armchair) and the small version model 156 (ladies’ armchair). Due to the new upholstery, the condition is very good again. It has been reupholstered with new foam and very nice mixed fabric from De Ploeg, type Monza Melange 82. The frame is still very nice, no breaks and/or repairs, normal wear and patina. Material: a metal (nickel) base with a shape-bent pressed wooden seat with foam and upholstery. Dimensions: h x w x d = 78 x 84 x 70 cm and the seat height is 36 cm.
