Oxford High Back
It was – and is – extremely Minimalist, yet it combines beauty with comfort.
The high back Oxford chair was originally designed for the dining halls at St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, specifically for the long tables where the professors had their meals—emphasizing the authority of the dons in relation to the students. Two years later, in 1965, the Oxford chairs were upholstered and put into production. The shell is molded wood comprising seven layers of beech and two layers of poplar. It is upholstered with polyurethane foam and covered with fabric. We have renewed the polyurethane recently, as it was crumbled due to the age of the chairs. The “original” fabric has been removed, washed and repaired on spots, where the chairs got contact to the wonderful super ellipse table which is as well offered in a separate post from the our Gallery.
