As good as new
Created in 1992 by the Belgian designer Frans Van Praet for Belgo Chrom, the Sevilla model is characterised by a graphic design combining metal tubing, perforated sheet metal and curved lines. The design of the backrest extends beneath the seat as an openwork shell, giving the chair a silhouette that is both architectural and light.
The chair reflects the revival of Belgian design at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s and the work of Belgo Chrom, a Belgian manufacturer particularly associated with metal furniture and the formal explorations of postmodern design.
Designed by Belgian designer Frans Van Praet for the Belgian Pavilion at the 1992 Seville Universal Exposition, the Sevilla chair is characterised by a highly graphic construction combining tubular metal, perforated sheet metal and curved lines. The backrest extends beneath the seat to form a perforated shell, giving the chair a silhouette that is both architectural and visually light.
The model reflects the innovative spirit of Belgian design at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the distinctive production of Belgo Chrom, a Belgian manufacturer particularly associated with metal furniture and postmodern design.
