Set of 4 Navratil Chairs by Vertex, 1960s, Czechoslovakia
A set of four original mid-century chairs designed by Miroslav Navrátil and produced by Vertex in the 1960s. These iconic shell chairs feature sculptural fiberglass seats in three different colours and the characteristic metal “spider” base typical for Navrátil’s work.
The fiberglass surfaces show age-related wear, colour variation and visible patina, consistent with original production and decades of use. The metal bases remain structurally stable, with light traces of wear.
This set represents an authentic example of Czechoslovak modernist design and is ideal for collectors or interior projects seeking original 1960s pieces.
