Fred Lowen and Ernest Rodeck for Fler Dining Chairs, Set of Four, in Red Vinyl
$1,495.00 AUD
Description
This set of four Fler dining chairs was designed by Fred Lowen and Ernest Rodeck in the mid-1950s.
Lowen and Rodeck founded Fler in 1946, both Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi Europe and met at the Tatura Internment Camp after arriving in Australia. They started in a two-horse stable in Melbourne, Lowen turning wooden bowls, Rodeck making pencils, before building Fler into one of the most significant names in Australian mid-century furniture. These chairs carry the Scandi-Pacific style the company became known for: a sculptural frame with tapered legs and a backrest set between two shaped Tasmanian Myrtle uprights, giving it visual lightness without losing structural strength.
The timber frames have been professionally restored. The original red vinyl remains in excellent condition, with only very minor traces of age, and a new dust cover has been fitted to the seats, with the original Fler labels kept intact. The Fler maker's mark is present.
Dimensions: 80cm high, 53cm wide, 50cm deep.
Available to view in our Torquay studio.
