RAPHAËL RAFFEL TUB CHAIRS, 1970s
Raphaël Raffel (1912–2000), known simply as Raphaël, was a pioneering French designer whose work in the 1960s and ’70s embraced the bold curves and futuristic forms of the Space Age aesthetic.
Blending French luxury with avant-garde experimentation, he created sculptural furniture in lacquer, fiberglass, and chrome, often characterized by fluid silhouettes and a sense of weightlessness.
His molded plastic tub armchairs exemplify this vision—streamlined, ergonomic forms that reflect the era's fascination with new materials and modern living. Raffel’s Space Age designs remain iconic for their playful elegance and forward-thinking spirit.
Produced locally by Sebel under licence from Herman Miller, we have four of these spectacular chairs in original museum condition. The beautiful deep blood orange velvet is in perfect condition, the foam presents as if never been sat upon and the plastic bases are unmarked. A rare opportunity to secure these collectible chairs in this amazing condition.
Available to view at our Surry Hills store and please contact us should you have any questions about these or any of our available pieces.
Price per chair.
