You’d be forgiven for thinking at a glance these are Ercol chairs but their design and origins are very different. They’re Pinnstol beech ply chairs, hailing from Sweden and they date from the 1960s. They come with a few knocks and scars from their former lives around the kitchen table but we can forgive this for their fantastic design. We love the thoughtful placement of the multiple back spindles, the contoured seat for comfort and the way the ply pours off the front of the chairs creating an overhang in profile. Solidly made and chairs that you wouldn’t need to be too precious about. Fine examples of Scandinavian midcentury design and the ‘form and function’ aesthetic.
