An iconic 'Sandows' lounge chair, originally designed by the French modernist pioneer René Herbst in the 1930s. This specific piece belongs to a high-quality production from the late 1970s, a period that saw a major revival and celebration of Herbst's avant-garde functionalism. The armchair features a minimalist, architectural frame in mirror-polished chromed steel. Its most revolutionary feature is the seating system: a series of industrial tension cords (elastic "Sandows" hooks with metal clips) that form the seat, backrest, and armrests. This design not only provides a dynamic, self-adjusting ergonomic comfort but also creates a striking visual transparency that lightens the volume of the chair. Herbst's work remains a cornerstone of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) philosophy, emphasizing the beauty of industrial components and the elimination of superfluous ornament.
