Pair of Wire Frame Chairs by Shin & Tomoko Azumi

A rare pair of postmodern Wire Frame chairs designed by Japanese designers Shin and Tomoko Azumi in 1998, from a limited production run.

Constructed from steel wire with a plastic-coated finish in contrasting pastel orange and pale blue. The continuous wire mesh curves to form the seat and backrest, supported by a simple rectangular steel frame.

An unusual example of late 20th century furniture design, with an example of the Wire Frame chair held in the permanent collection of Manchester Art Gallery.

Condition Report

Both chairs are in good original vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with their age and use. There are various scratches, marks and areas of paint loss to the coated steel frames, particularly on the pale blue chair, where some exposed metal is visible.

Despite the cosmetic wear, both chairs are structurally sound, sturdy and fully usable as intended. A lovely pair of original examples retaining their distinctive finishes.
