More than a decade ago we managed to buy up a pair of original K106 tubular chairs that we hadn't come across until then. Unfortunately we have not been able to identify the maker or the artist of this piece to date. The chairs were upholstered like the seats in 1930's automobiles in a series of rollers, which adds a proper elegance to the chair. This type of upholstery was often used in small aircraft.

Seat height 43 cm

We were able to buy the original K 106 chair more than ten years ago in an original design that we had not seen before. Unfortunately we have not been able to identify the maker or the artist of this piece to date. The armchairs were upholstered like the seats in 1930s automobiles in a series of rolls, which give the chair a proper elegance. This type of upholstery was often used in small aircraft.

It was clear to us that this chair was not going to be readily available, so we turned to small-scale production of replicas. The armchair has a classically sprung seat and backrest and is available in a wide range of upholstery materials. It is most often supplied in light tobacco or dark red leather from the Danish brand Sorensen. A tubular footrest can also be ordered with the chair.

The basic upholstery design is made in a modern way with the use of so-called registers and rubber-coating. We custom upholster exactly as in the 1930s on a hardwood frame and hand-bound pens. The extra charge for classic upholstery made of compression springs is 8.000,-CZK. We can upholster on request in any material. Beechwood armrests are varnished, stained or also upholstered in the chosen material. Price of Armchair K 106: 57,000 CZK + 4 bm of covering material (leather consumption 6 m2)

Price of the footstool: 14 900 CZK + 1bm of covering material (leather consumption 2 m2)
