Creator: K. Scröder
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Beech armchair with woven papercord seat and back. Model 1459. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen, 1938

Until recently this rare and sought after armchair was commonly attributed to Frits Schlegel. However a closer look at the original Fritz Hansen catalog from 1938 reveals that this chair was actually designed by K. Scröder and not by Schlegel.
