F1 Armchairs and T2 Tangram Side Table by Willy Van Der Meeren for Tubax, 1954

Willy Van Der Meeren designed this high side table, model T2, for Tubax in 1954. The three-legged frame is made of black painted metal tubes, the top is covered with printed vinyl. This table is in good vintage condition. The print on the vinyl is a little faded. This T2 is complete original of the 1950s. Willy Van Der Meeren designed the F1 armchair for Tubax in the early 1950s. This great armchair has a black lacquered frame and a wooden seat and back covered with shiny vinyl with a 1950s print. The two F1 chairs and the side table T2 on our website, were originally a set. This F1 armchair is complete original of the 1950s. It is an old edition with nice printed vinyl, very hard to find. The chair is in good condition. There is a lot of oxidation on the metal base. We’ve cleaned it thoroughly and let in its original condition. Bibliography: De Kooning, M., Willy Van Der Meeren.
