Serge Ketoff lounge chair
-
Description
A very rare lounge chair designed by French-Italian engineer and architect Serge Ketoff (1918 - 2005) and made in the Jean Prouvé workshop in Maxéville, France. The chair was called 'fauteuil démontable', because it can easily be disassembled into three parts. It is made of a thin metal frame with walnut parts and a seating and backrest with red plastified cord.
This prototype was made around 1953. In 1956, Steph Simon produced the model with a canvas seating and backrest instead of cord and it could be dismantled completely. Ketoff worked as an engineer for Prouvé at the time of this design. -
