Description

Frans Van Praet (born 1940) Sevilla Pair of chairs Green lacquered tubular metal frame, backrest and rear section in curved perforated sheet metal. Circular seat upholstered and covered in green fabric. Chrome-plated metal components and profiles. Produced by Belgo Chrom, Belgium, 1992 H84 W51 D48 cm Provenance: to be completed 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 is a testament to the revival of Belgian design at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s and to 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.
