Set of Four Hans Coray Landi Chairs, MEWA

About the Item

Desirable set of four early Landi aluminium stacking chairs, designed by Hans Coray for the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich in 1938, executed in the 1950s by P. & W. Blattmann Metallwarenfabrik Wädenswil (MEWA), Switzerland. These examples have 91 holes in total which dates their manufacturing pre-1960. Unlike most early Landi chairs on the market the original rubber feet are still present on these chairs. Marked MEWA in the back as pictured. Hans Coray, a Swiss designer born in 1906, left an indelible mark on the world of furniture design. Renowned for his iconic creation, the Landi Chair, crafted for the 1939 Swiss National Exhibition, Coray epitomized modernist aesthetics. The chair, an exemplar of innovative use of materials, employed a curved aluminum frame, showcasing a harmonious blend of form and function. Coray's avant-garde approach extended to various disciplines, including architecture and urban planning. His designs, characterized by simplicity and functionality, resonate with timeless appeal, influencing subsequent generations of designers.

    By Rud Rasmussen, Kaare Klint
    Located in Dronten, NL
    Rare early matching set of four Kaare Klint "Red Chair" chairs in oak, red naugahyde and brass nails. Executed by Rud Rasmussen, circa 1936, in amazing all original condition. Underside with partial manufacturer's paper label RUD. RASMUSSENS/SNEDKERIER. Kaare Klint (1888-1954), a Danish architect and designer, was a pioneering figure in the realm of modern Danish furniture design. Renowned as the father of Danish modernism, Klint played a pivotal role in shaping the functional and aesthetic principles that defined Scandinavian design in the early 20th century.

Klint's carefully researched furniture designs are based on functionality, proportions adapted to the human body, craftsmanship, and the use of high-quality materials. Notable examples of his work include the Propeller Stool (1927), the Safari Chair and the Deck Chair (both 1933), the Church Chair (1936), and the Circle Bed...
