The 1960 Barstool offers a minimalistic yet well-defined design for high seating. The angular frame and pleasantly curved seat provide a surprising degree of comfort. Its stylish, timeless appearance can be complemented with luxurious seat upholstery.
The 1960 family range is built on the satisfying invention of bending wood into shapes which optimally suit the human body. While maintaining the likeable tactile properties of natural wood, the design that underpins the 1960 range never goes out of style. The cleverly designed curves of the original chair by Niko Kralj inspired Rex Kralj to work on a complete 1960 range to meet present-day demands for authentic design and uncomplicated warmth.
