Pair of Vintage Mexican Modern Pine and Woven Palm Bar Stools by Muebles Austin

Pair of ca. 1950s Mexican Modernist bar stools produced by Muebles Austin of Mexico City, founded in 1944 by Swiss designer, Austin Sulzburger.
Composed of solid pine frames with footrests on all four sides with woven palm cord seats and backs.
Combining modernist elements with Bauhaus design (stylistically influenced by Don Shoemaker and Michael van Beuren), Muebles Austin in its prime had ten functioning workshops in the Mexico City area utilizing local craftsmen and materials to create sustainable, functional furniture.
These stools epitomize Mexican Modernism using indigenous, quality materials to execute a modest, organic design, tasteful in its simplicity. Further, the thoughtful design and proportion of back and seat offer optimal comfort while occupying a small footprint.
Very good, vintage condition - pine has been conservatively refinished, but dings/spots/scuffs remain. There are a few loose palm strands to the back of one of the stools and some patina/discoloration to the seat profile, as shown. Structurally sound.
Retains the Muebles Austin manufacturer tag, as shown.
