F1 Armchair by Willy Van Der Meeren for Tubax

Willy Van Der Meeren designed the F1 armchair for Tubax in the early 1950s. This armchair has a black lacquered frame and a wooden seat and back covered with shiny vinyl with a 1950s print.
It is a very comfortable chair. This F1 armchair is complete authentic of the 1950s. It is an old edition with nice printed vinyl, very hard to find.
The chair is in good condition. There is a lot of oxidation on the metal base. We’ve cleaned it thoroughly and let in its original condition.
