WILLY GUHL LOOP CHAIRS SECOND EDITION C1997 PAIR
-
Description
Guhl's use of Eternit could be likened to what the Eameses did with plywood, which was to turn a building material into an elegant piece of furniture. Each Loop chair uses a single sheet of Eternit. Eternit, the company, was thrilled; the chair became a hit, and stayed in production for decades. One of the fibers in Eternit is asbestos; part of what made Eternit popular was its fire-resistance. But asbestos of course causes lung cancer, and as awareness of the material's harmful nature grew, the Loop chair was discontinued in 1980.
Guhl subsequently redesigned the chair, and in 1997 an asbestos-free variant went into production. The redesigned version has two telltale grooves in the back, This pair is early c2000 as they have obvious sings of outdoor use.

Message from Seller:
Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
