Ensemble de chaises de salle à manger, style « mid-century », Radomír Hofman, années 1960, Tchécoslovaquie
Designed by Radomír Hofman for the national company TON in Bystřice pod Hostýnem, this set of four dining chairs (model 514) exemplifies the elegant functionalism and organic modernism characteristic of 1960s Czechoslovak design.
